White chocolate chips are the star of our recipe and add a sweet, creamy flavor 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.

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 FIVE: Fold in the white chocolate chips.

STEP SIX: Scoop onto the prepared baking sheet with your cookie scoop. 

PRO TIP:

If you don’t have a cookie scoop: scoop about 2 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 8 to 10 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.

STEP NINE: Allow to cool on a wire rack, and enjoy!

How To Serve

Enjoy these perfect white chocolate chip cookies warm from the oven with a glass of cold milk. The contrast between the warm, soft cookies and the cold milk is a classic pairing that never fails to satisfy.

For something more indulgent, pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. The creaminess of the ice cream complements the sweetness of the cookies perfectly.

You could even use these cookies to make ice cream sandwiches. Simply place a scoop of your favorite ice cream between two cookies and press gently. This is a fun and delicious way to enjoy cookies on a hot day.

Storage

Our white chocolate cookies can be enjoyed fresh from the oven, but they also store well for future enjoyment.

MAKE AHEAD: These cookies can be made ahead of time. Simply prepare the dough, scoop it onto your cookie sheet, and freeze. When you’re ready to bake, just preheat your oven and bake the cookies from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

IN THE FRIDGE: Store your baked cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 6 days. This will help them maintain their freshness and flavor.

IN THE FREEZER: Baked cookies can also be stored in the freezer for up to three months. To freeze your cookies, let them cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. When you’re ready to enjoy them, let them thaw at room temperature.
