- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Directions:
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the egg to the butter mixture and mix until well incorporated. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to ensure everything is blended.

How to Serve White Chocolate Chip Cookies
Serve these cookies warm or at room temperature. They are great on their own, but you can also pair them with a glass of milk, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or some fresh fruit for a delicious dessert spread.
How to Store White Chocolate Chip Cookies
To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last for up to a week if kept sealed properly. If you want to keep them for longer, you can freeze the cookies in a suitable container. Just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Tips to Make White Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Don’t over-mix once you’ve added the flour; this helps keep the cookies soft.
- Experiment with adding nuts or dried fruit for a twist on the classic recipe.
Variation
You can replace white chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips for a different flavor. Adding nuts, such as macadamia or walnuts, can also offer a nice crunch and enhance the taste.
