    These white chocolate chip cookies are probably my family's all-time favorite cookie recipe.

    They're perfectly chewy and soft, with bursts of creamy, dreamy white chocolate.

    Seriously, what's not to love?

    Whether you're looking for an after school snack, a tasty treat, or something to bring to a cookie exchange or bake sale, this is the recipe for you!

    We are massive cookie fans around my house. So, to make it to the top of our to-bake list takes a very special recipe. This one fits the bill!

    They're Toll House style chewy cookies that are always a huge hit.

    This was inspired by my Marshmallow Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe on this site, and pairs well with Italian Lemon Drop Cookies (Anginetti), French Sable Cookies, or Shortbread Cornstarch Cookies if you're looking to make a few batches of various cookie recipes!

    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.

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    Follow this step-by-step photo tutorial, then scroll down to the recipe card for the full ingredients list and method.

    Stirring dry ingredients.

    Dry ingredients: Stir the flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.

    Beaten butter and sugars.

    Cream the butter and sugars: Cream the butter and both sugars in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.

    Eggs beaten into the batter.

    Eggs: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then beat in the vanilla.

    Mixed cookie dough ready to add chocolate chips and marshmallows.

    Combine the wet and dry mixtures: Gradually beat in the flour mixture.

    White chocolate chipped added to the cookie dough.

    Add chocolate: Gently stir in the white chocolate chips.

    Dough rolled into balls.

    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.

    Variations

    A few simple swaps or add-ins can turn this recipe into a totally different cookie!

    • Swap the white chocolate chips for butterscotch, peanut butter chips, milk chocolate or dark chocolate.
    • Add in ¼ cup of chopped nuts. Try pecans, walnuts, pistachios or almonds.
    • Change the vanilla extract to almond, peppermint, orange or lemon extract.
    • Add ¼ cup cocoa powder to the dry ingredients for a double chocolate cookie.
    • Try cooking it into a giant cookie!

    Storage

    Storage: Store your leftover cookies in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 5 days.

    Freeze: This cookie dough is freezable. Freeze it in balls and then bake from frozen, adding an extra 2 minutes to the cooking time.
