The Best Homemade Cookies

The soft white chocolate chip cookies are chewy and have the sweetest chocolatey flavor.

This is a favorite cookie recipe around our house and the kids ask for them often.

The recipe is a very typical recipe that is similar to a chocolate chip cookie recipe, but with a little bit more vanilla extract and a tad more flour.

The result is a delicious cookie that is perfect for gift-giving, cookie exchange parties, or just eating at home.

These are especially good right out of the oven. We just couldn’t resist slipping a few warm cookies on our plate and standing there next to the oven eating them.

Melted white chocolate chunks are delish.

Oh, they were soooo good.

How To Make The White Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Start by adding the flour, baking soda, and salt to a bowl, whisk together, and set aside.

Add the softened butter to a large bowl.

(You can also use a stand mixer for this recipe if you have one).

I say this all the time, but if you forgot to set your butter out to soften, it’s ok.

I have a setting on my microwave that will allow me to gently soften butter without melting it.

But, if you don’t have a microwave setting, you can mix it with the electric mixer for a minute or more, on medium speed, to get it creamy.

Add the brown and white sugar to the bowl and cream.

Pour the vanilla extract and eggs into the bowl and mix well.

Add the flour mixture and mix well.

Finally, add the white chocolate chips to the bowl and mix.

Refrigerate The Dough

I refrigerate the dough for at least an hour before baking the cookies because it keeps them from spreading too much while they bake.

If you don’t refrigerate them, they are most likely going to end up being a blob of a cookie and spreading too thin while they bake.

After refrigerating the dough, scoop it out onto a cookie sheet, with a cookie scoop, rolled into dough balls and bake for 9-11 minutes at 375-degrees until the cookies are golden brown.

Remove the baked cookies and allow them to cool (we have a hard time letting them cool because we want to eat them so badly).

If you don’t have a cookie scoop you can use a spoon to scoop out the dough.

You can also add a few white chocolate chips to the tops of the cookies for more chocolate flavor, and they look pretty.

TIP: You can also place the cookies on parchment paper while they bake if you’d like to keep your cookie sheet nice, but it’s not necessary.

Can I freeze the cookie dough?

Yes, and I would suggest rolling the cookie dough into balls and placing them into a freezer-safe container, that way you can pull them straight out of the freezer and bake them.

Be sure to give them a few more minutes to bake if you are taking them straight from the freezer to the oven.

The cookies can be frozen for about two months. It’s great to be able to make them in advance, freeze them, and then pull them out around the holidays and bake them, so you’re not in a rush.

You can also bake the cookies first and then freeze them. You can freeze them for about one month.

Can I store the cookies on the counter?

Yes, you can store them on the counter, just make sure they are in an airtight container. The cookies should last for about three days unless you eat them all first!

And that is an easy thing to do!
