White Chocolate Chip Cookies

These White Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delectable variation of a classic chocolate chip cookie. In this recipe creamy white chocolate chips replace the more traditional semisweet, milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips. These cookies have a soft and chewy texture with a slightly caramelized exterior plus a rich and buttery flavor.

Easy White Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

There’s no wrong occasion or time of year to bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies. The addition of white chocolate chips to the cookie dough in this recipe provides a contrast to the sweetness of the cookie dough. Vanilla extract and light brown sugar enhances the flavor profile even further making them impossible to resist. Serve them as a treat on their own, with a cup of coffee or tea or paired with a glass of cold milk for a comfort-filled snack.

• Prepare Pans – Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Creamed Ingredients – Use a mixer to cream together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla and almond extracts. Beat on medium high speed for 2-3 minutes until creamy.
• Eggs – Add the eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Stop and scrape the sides of the bowl periodically.
• Sift Dry Ingredients – Use a whisk to sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
• Combine – With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the creamed mixture stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Baking Chips – By hand mix in 2 cups white chocolate chips until evenly distributed. The dough will be stiff.
• Divide the Dough – Use a ice cream scoop to divide the dough placing at least 2-3 inches apart on the pans. Gently press the remaining 1/2 cup white chocolate chips onto the tops.
• Transfer to Oven – Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.

How to Make the BEST White Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade White Chocolate Chip Cookies: All purpose flour, salted butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, pure vanilla extract, almond extract, large  eggs, baking soda, baking powder, salt and white chocolate baking chips.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: Stand mixer or hand mixer, measuring cups and spoons, rubber spatula, sheet pans, parchment paper, medium ice cream scoop or cookie scoop and cooling rack.
• When dividing the cookie dough leave at least 2-3 inches between to allow for spreading.
• I like to press additional white chocolate chips into the dough mounds prior to baking. This ensures the chocolate chips are evenly arranged. This is optional, if you could omit this step, if desired.
• You can chill the cookie dough prior to baking for a thicker cookie.
• Variations on White Chocolate Chip Cookies: You could add 1 cup of chopped nuts or 1 cup of shredded flaked coconut to the mix to change the flavor profile.
• You can also use a different extract in place of almond extract. You may prefer using lemon, orange, rum or even peppermint for the holidays. You can also replace it using more vanilla instead.
• Store baked White Chocolate Chips Cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• You can freeze the cookie dough for up to 3 months.
