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!

Best cookies ever! Soooo good!
I added walnuts and they taste amazing with and without.
I made the white chocolate chip cookies. Very good. This recipe is one that I have been most successful with of late.
I have a ? My cookie bottoms were not burnt but close it it. Did not effect the taste. I was wondering if I should bake them for a shorter length of time (10 minutes) or would you bake them at a lower temp.
If you haven’t already tried using a light colored cookie sheet, try that. The darker ones always make the bottoms of my cookies too dark.
Great recipe that I’ve used as a base for “other” cookies. My most recent favorite is a Lemon Browned Butter variant. Remove the chips, vanilla, cinnamon and then add zest if one lemon. I also dropped the butter to 3/4 cup(my cookies always come out flatter and oily) from 1 cup and added 25 grams of flour.
I don’t have baking sofa only baking powder, what should I do? I have self raising flour I could use instead of plain if that helps?
This is my favorite cookie ever. I could eat my weight in them, oh my goodness, I love the recipe too. It makes great cookies. I will have to try using the butterscotch chips too. They sound really good too….
Just took out of the oven and they smell great. I rolled them in red sugar for Valentine’s!
Love this recipe. I’m eating them for breakfast, lol. Not too sweet which is perfect. First time I tried using white chocolate chip and it’s so yummy. I also appreciate the amount of white chocolate chips recommended to use, you still get cookie. With some recipes the entire cookie are chips.
Amazing! We halved the recipe and it turned out perfect…we all loved them. We will definitely make these again!!
Do you have to put the dough in the fridge?
The best cookie I’ve made. People always ask for the recipe.
