Using the flat beater, combine the ingredients until creamy and smooth.

Cut the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape the seeds out.

One by one, incorporate the eggs.

Add the sifted ingredients...

... and mix for about 5 or 10 minutes.

Add the white chocolate chips and resume mixing, without grinding them.

Refrigerate the dough overnight.

Shape the dough into balls, then arrange them on a Silpat baking mat, placed on a perforated Silichef® baking sheet. The size of the balls varies according to how big you would like your cookies.

Bake at 170°C (gas 3) for 14 minutes.
