If you’re a fan of melt-in-your-mouth cookies with just the right balance of sweet and creamy, these Soft White Chocolate Chip Cookies are about to become your new favorite. They’re thick, chewy, and packed with rich white chocolate chips that caramelize ever so slightly while baking. Pure cookie bliss.
🍪 Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ¾ cups white chocolate chips
- Optional: ½ cup chopped macadamia nuts or dried cranberries
🔪 Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until fully combined.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips (and nuts or cranberries if using).
- Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of dough onto the baking sheets, leaving space between each.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, just until the edges are golden and the centers still look soft.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
💡 Pro Tips:
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps the cookies stay thick and chewy.
- Don’t overbake — they’ll continue cooking on the tray after coming out of the oven.
- Add a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for a flavor boost.
🥰 Why These Cookies Stand Out
The soft texture, buttery base, and sweetness of the white chocolate come together for a cookie that’s simple but unforgettable. Whether you’re baking for a holiday tray, a family treat, or a sweet snack for yourself—these deliver every time.
