🥘Ingredients

For the Cookies

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups white chocolate chips

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda, then set aside.
3In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
4Add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is smooth.
5Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
6Fold in the white chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
8Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
9Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
10The cookies will continue to set as they cool, resulting in a chewy texture.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Q: What type of flour should I use in this recipe?

For this recipe, I recommend using all-purpose flour as it will provide the best texture and structure to your cookies.

Q: Can I substitute the white chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips?

While dark chocolate chips can be used as a substitute, keep in mind that they will change the flavor profile of your cookies. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can also try using milk chocolate chips or chopped nuts as an alternative.

Q: Do I need to chill the dough before baking?

No, you do not need to chill the dough before baking. In fact, chilling the dough can cause it to become too firm and difficult to mix. Simply mix all the ingredients together and scoop out tablespoon-sized balls onto your baking sheet.

Q: Can I make these cookies in advance?

Yes, you can make these cookies in advance! Simply bake them as directed and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze them for up to 2 months.

Q: What is the best way to store leftover cookies?

To store leftover cookies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze them for up to 2 months. When freezing, be sure to wrap each cookie individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before placing them in the freezer bag.
