White CHOCOLATE:
How to Make White Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Instructions
STEP 1: Heat the oven to 325 degrees F. STEP 2: Beat the butter, sugar and brown sugar until light and creamy. STEP 3: Meanwhile, stir together the flour, baking soda and salt. STEP 4: When the butter is creamy, add the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla. STEP 5: Add the flour mixture slowly, and when it is almost all incorporated, add the macadamia nuts and white chocolate. STEP 6: Stir together well. STEP 7: Drop tablespoon-sized rounds on cookie sheets and bake for 15 minutes, or until edges just start to turn golden. STEP 8: Remove the cookies from the cookie sheets to cool so the white chocolate doesn't melt too much. Tips & Warnings
White chocolate is not technically real chocolate, because it doesn't contain any cocoa solids. White chocolate is a mixture of cocoa butter, dairy solids, vanilla and sugar. Unfortunately, many white chocolates on the market don't contain any cocoa butter; for this recipe, use only those that do.
Hope I've been a great help!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is impossible to "make" them at home, however please always buy a very good quality chocolates for all your needs, cooking, melting, gnashes, etc.
Couple of fun facts, White chocolate is not made from the cocoa plant and therefore is not "chocolate"
Toll house chips use artificially vanilla flavoring in all their products. Non of the store brands do!
Read the labels and understand there is a great deference between milk choc., semi-sweet (half milk and half so called dark and dark chocolate. It is the amount of cocoa that is each that makes the different tastes. A good dark will have at least 60% and now it is "good" for us to eat dark chocolate. Enjoy, before they come out with a new study!

Here's some info. Also see links within and at the end of the wikipedia articles.
I once went on a tour of the Nestle chocolate factory in Switzerland and it was fascinating to see all the automated stirring and moulding machines and things. Plus the tasting room!
