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!

I made these cookies today and they were excellent!
These were absolutely delicious and easy to make! Will definitely make these again!
I made these yesterday and my family loved them! They were delicious! My family prefers the soft cookie over the crispy cookie. I added the cinnamon and glad I did. This recipe is a keeper!
These cookies are easy to make and are delicious!!! I will make this recipe again!!!
This is a great recipe! I used oatmeal flour and added a half cup of chopped macadamia nuts. Everybody loved them!
If I wanted to make these chocolate cookies how much cocoa powder should I use and would there be a substitute for something else? Help…I absolutely love these cookies and want to do them in a chocolate form!
Would the dough freeze okay? Wanted to gift it to someone. Thanks
Hi! Yes it freezes fine for up to 3 months 🙂
I baked these because I had white chocolate chips that were about to expire. They turned out great! I will definitely be baking more in the future :))
These came out amazing!!! Baked half and froze the other half for later!! These are the best cookies I have made to date.
I am a die hard white chocolate chip gal and have tried many recipes… but now I no longer have to keep searching for the keeper recipe. This is it! I absolutely love the cinnamon addition. My family of 5 ate it all within a 24 hour period! Eek! However, I do have a question… do you use dark or light brown sugar? I can’t remember what I used the last time. Thank you for sharing such amazing treats!
