White Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft, chewy, and packed full of white chocolate chips! These easy to make cookies are sure to become a family favorite!
Those of you that absolutely love my Butterscotch Chip Cookies will be happy to know that this recipe for White Chocolate Chip Cookies uses the same basic, easy, and super delicious dough! Cookies are my all time favorite thing to bake. All you need is a really good tried and tested dough that produces a buttery, soft, and chewy cookie. Then, you can add in any of your favorite candies!
How to Make White Chocolate Chip Cookies:
- To start, it is always best to make sure that your eggs and butter are at room temperature if possible. You must use softened butter for this recipe.
- You can use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, or a large bowl and a hand mixer to cream together both of the sugars with the butter. This part will take 2-3 minutes. You will be able to see when the butter and sugar become a light and fluffy mixture instead of small, coarse, granules.
- Once your butter and sugars are well mixed, add in both eggs and the vanilla and mix for 1-2 more minutes on medium speed until all of the egg is well incorporated.
- In a medium sized bowl whisk together all of your dry ingredients.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in 3 batches. This really helps so that flour doesn’t go flying all over the place!
- Next, stir in your white chocolate chips.
- The next step is chilling your dough! Plan ahead, because chilling really is necessary so that these cookies don’t flatten out too much. Minimum chill time is 30 minutes. You can place this dough in a large zip-top bag and refrigerate for up to 5 days, then bake later.
- Drop the dough with a cookie scoop or by heaping Tablespoons onto a large cookie sheet prepared with non-stick spray, or parchment paper.
- No need to press down on these cookies before baking!
- Once they come out of the oven, allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes then remove to a wire rack or serving plate to cool.
Enjoy!

Totally delicious. I halved the recipe and it made plenty of cookies. I added some white chocolate peppermint chunks and baked a few minutes longer than instructed.
I never leave recipe reviews, but I have to for this one. These cookies are absolutely delicious!!! Thanks so so much, the cinnamon is a nice touch.
Hi Nicole, thank you so much for the recipe. The dough is in the frig as I write. Can’t wait to try them with my husband and a cup of coffee after dinner. Thank You
Is it a must to add both baking soda and powder or could I just add one
Some of the best cookies I’ve ever made!!!
Hey, so I was wondering how much time the cookies should bake for if I’m baking them in a small muffin tin
Hi, that sounds like a cool idea! Unfortunately, since I haven’t tried it myself, I can’t give an accurate answer. If you try it out, let us know how it goes 🙂
We loved this recipe! I added in a 3rd Egg, mini semi sweet chocolate chips, marshmallow bits and less white chocolate (Because the others), walnuts and some coconut oil and they were so soft!! AMAZING my fiance said the best cookies he’s ever had! And he is brutally honest when it comes to criticizing food.
Love the recipe !!
FYI Instructions #2 says fold in butterscotch chips and not white chocolate.
Baking time should go up to about 14 to 15 minutes
Agree, 14-15 mins. Anything less I find makes cookies way too soft.
Hii, I don’t know maybe it’s me but It doesn’t say to add the baking powder I assume it goes in when you add the baking soda
The cookies were delicious BTW!!
I added 1tsp. Almond extract and salted macadamia nuts, reduced salt, eliminated cinnamon, cooked 12 minutes and let cool on baking sheet. They were awesome!
