White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Jump to Recipe

Delectable white chocolate morsels in every bite make these cookies irresistible. Chewy, sweet and easy to make this is the only White Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe you’ll ever need!

You can never have too many cookie recipes. If you don’t have a good White Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe in your arsenal yet, this one is sure to do the trick! Starting with a simple drop cookie dough, then folding in white chocolate chips, these easy to make cookies come out perfectly every time.

White Chocolate Chip Cookies

I realized that while I’ve shared other cookie recipes with white chocolate chips. A few of my favorites are Funfetti Cookies, White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies, Black and White Chippers and Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies. However I’ve yet to give you a recipe for a classic white chocolate chip cookie. It’s time to change that! 

One of my favorite things about cookie baking is that once you get the essentials down, it’s so easy to make cookies with just about any kind of mix-ins you can imagine. To make these particular homemade cookies, I started with one of my favorite recipes for cookies with chocolate chips. 

The simple exchange of white chocolate morsels for semi-sweet makes the cookies just a little out of the ordinary. These White Chocolate Chip Cookies are chewy and soft with buttery vanilla flavor that I can’t get enough of.

White Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

To make these cookies even easier, I mix the dough in my stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. This helps the butter and sugars get even fluffier when you cream them together. However, you can also use a large spoon for this step, it just might take another minute or two of elbow grease.

For chewy white chocolate chip cookies, make sure to chill the dough before it goes in the oven! While the cookies will still taste good if you skip this step, they’ll spread a bit more and won’t get that irresistibly chewy texture I love. 30 minutes in the fridge is plenty but I find that 1 -2 hours is ideal.

And, finally, don’t forget that with drop cookies like this, they will continue baking for a couple of minutes after you remove them from the oven! The cookies will still look soft and a bit doughy when you take them out. Don’t worry, they’ll solidify as they cool.

You’re going to love these cookies!

What are white chocolate chips?

Never baked with white chocolate before? It’s exactly the same as baking with regular chocolate chips but the flavor is different. Rather than the cocoa solids that semi-sweet, milk and dark chocolate chips are made from, white chocolate chips are made from cocoa butter, sugar and milk solids. 

The morsels are such a tasty addition to a chewy homemade cookie. I find that vanilla lovers especially love all things white chocolate!

Can you freeze white chocolate chip cookies? 

Like other homemade drop cookies, white chocolate chips cookies (and the cookie dough) freeze wonderfully. 

  • To freeze the baked cookies:  Let the cookies cool completely then return them to a cookie or baking sheet spaced out so they are not touching each other. Freeze for 2 hours or until solid. Then, transfer the frozen cookies to a freezer safe bag or container.
  • To freeze the cookie dough: Scoop the dough into balls about 2 inches wide. Place the dough balls on a baking sheet (not touching each other) until frozen solid, then immediately transfer to an airtight container. To bake from frozen, add about 2 minutes of baking time on to the total.

Author: Christi Johnstone

Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp butter softened
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • sea salt flakes, such as Maldon optional

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth. Slowly add in the flour, cornstarch and baking soda, making sure it is well incorporated. Add the white chocolate chips and stir to mix throughout the dough. Cover tightly and chill for at least 30 minutes, up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to bake, reheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • Scoop out 2-tablespoon portions and roll into balls, then shape balls so that they are slightly taller than wide. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet, at 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart. Bake for 11 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven when the starting to very lightly brown.
  • Sprinkle lightly with salt, if using, as soon as they're out of the oven. Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes on the tray and then transfer to a wire cooling rack.

Notes

Take care not to overcook these cookies. For a perfectly chewy cookie, it's important not to over bake.

    Egg is mentioned in the procedure but not listed as the ingredients that’s why I was wondering “Cookies with no eggs?!”

    These turned out so good I found myself eating 2-3 at a time.
    Add the sea salt… you won’t regret it.

    Best cookie recipe by far. But man did they spread. It was a little too sweet for my liking. Next time less chocolate chips.
