Indulge in our sweet white chocolate chip cookies, a perfect blend of rich flavors that will leave you craving more. The cookies are just bursting with white chocolate chips, making them impossible to resist.
White Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients
White chocolate chips are the star of our recipe and add a creaminess that makes these cookies truly special for all white chocolate lovers.
These cookies are made with both white sugar and brown sugar, which add sweetness to them, with the brown sugar contributing a hint of caramel flavor.
Finally, vanilla extract is the secret ingredient that enhances the flavor profile of our cookies, adding a subtle depth of flavor.
Here are the ingredients you’ll need:
- ½ cup of butter, softened
- ¾ cup of light brown sugar
- ¼ cup of white granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups of flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of baking soda
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of white chocolate chips (plus more to top)
Substitutions And Additions
FLOUR: You can use a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour for a gluten-free version.
WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as milk, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate chunks.
You can also consider add-ins like dried cranberries, nuts, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet and salty twist.
VANILLA EXTRACT: If you don’t have vanilla extract on hand or want to experiment with different flavors, there are a few alternatives to consider.
Almond extract can add a lovely nutty undertone to your cookies, and peppermint extract can infuse them with a refreshing minty flavor.
Just be cautious when using extracts other than vanilla, as they tend to be more potent, so a little goes a long way. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
BROWN SUGAR: If you’re out of brown sugar, you can easily make a substitution using granulated sugar and molasses.
For each cup of brown sugar required in the recipe, combine one cup of granulated sugar with one tablespoon of molasses.
Mix them thoroughly until the molasses is evenly distributed throughout the sugar.
This DIY brown sugar will still provide the moisture and rich flavor needed for these cookies.
EGGS: If you have dietary restrictions or allergies that prevent you from using eggs, you can try using egg substitutes like applesauce, mashed bananas, or yogurt.
These alternatives can provide moisture and binding properties similar to eggs. For each egg in the recipe, substitute with a quarter cup of your chosen egg substitute.
Keep in mind that this may slightly alter the texture and flavor of the cookies, so adjust according to your preference.
BUTTER: If you’re looking to reduce the amount of butter in your cookies or avoid dairy altogether, you can use alternatives like coconut oil, margarine, or a dairy-free butter substitute.
Just ensure that the replacement you choose is suitable for baking.
Keep in mind that the flavor and texture may vary slightly, so experiment to find the option that works best for you.
SALT: To control your sodium intake or if you simply prefer less salt, you can reduce the salt in the recipe by half or even omit it entirely.
The cookies will still be delicious, but the sweetness of the white chocolate and the savory bacon will shine through more prominently.
If you’re feeling adventurous, consider using flavored salts like lavender or smoked salt for a unique twist on the classic flavor profile.
Remember that a little goes a long way with these specialty salts.
How To Make This White Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Making our white chocolate chip cookies is a simple and enjoyable process. Let’s walk through the steps together.
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
Cookies will cook and spread differently depending on the surface they cook on. For best results, use parchment paper as instructed.
STEP TWO: Cream together the softened butter and sugars in a large bowl, either with a spoon or an electric mixer.
STEP THREE: Mix in the vanilla and egg.
STEP FOUR: Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in to form cookie dough.
STEP FIVE: Fold in the white chocolate chips.
STEP SIX: Scoop onto the prepared baking sheet with your cookie scoop.

If you don’t have a cookie scoop, scoop about two tablespoons of dough, roll it into a ball, and place cookie dough balls on the sheet.
STEP SEVEN: Bake in the preheated oven for about eight to ten minutes.
PRO TIP:
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate.
Make sure to keep a close eye on your cookies as the suggested baking time approaches.
