DIRECTIONS:
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2.In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Fold in the white chocolate chips. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3.Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until cookies are set. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Meatballs

I have finally found a meatball sauce recipe that our family LOVES!  And it's so easy!!
Ultimate Party Meatballs
1 can (16 oz) whole cranberry sauce
1  bottle (12oz) chili sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup water

Mix and pour over prepared meatballs 2-3 lbs. I recommend frozen Italian meatballs. 

I mix sauce together and put into 4 separate tupperware bowls.  I use 1 for each meal, along with enough meatballs for our family for one meal.  I freeze the ones I'm not using.  It makes for a quick meal with Mashed potatoes or rice.
