Why You'll Love This Recipe
White Chocolate Chip Cookies are a fun alternative to regular chips.
This is a quick recipe, since you don't need to chill the dough before baking.
The recipe is super easy - just mix the butter and sugar, add the flour, then stir in the white chocolate chips! Bake and you're good to go.
Ingredients
You only need simple everyday pantry ingredients for this cookie recipe!
- Flour - Use plain flour/all-purpose flour for these cookies.
- Butter - If you're using salted butter, you don't need to add any more to the batter. If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt to the batter.
- Brown sugar and white sugar - the mix of the two sugars makes the ultimate chocolate chip cookie!
- Egg - one large egg helps bind the ingredients and get the cookie structure.
- Baking soda - aka bicarbonate of soda, not baking powder.
- Vanilla - I use pure vanilla extract for baking as it adds a great flavor.
- Salt - add a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter.
- White Chocolate Chips - or cut a large bar of white baking chocolate into chunks.

Instructions
Follow this step-by-step photo tutorial, then scroll down to the recipe card for the full ingredients list and method.
Dry ingredients: Stir the flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
Cream the butter and sugars: Cream the butter and both sugars in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.
Eggs: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then beat in the vanilla.
Combine the wet and dry mixtures: Gradually beat in the flour mixture.
Add chocolate: Gently stir in the white chocolate chips.
Prep the cookies: Roll rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough and place them onto ungreased cookie sheets, 2 inches apart.
Bake your cookies: Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden at the edges. Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheets for 2 minutes, then gently transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Hint: Don't overbake your cookies! For chewy cookies, you want the middle set, but not dried out.
