I recently read a book to my daughter about a baker, and she insisted that we try one of the cookie recipes in the back of the book. We did make a modification. The recipe called for chocolate chips, and we were fresh out, so we used white chocolate chips to create these delicious White Chocolate Chip Cookies.
It was wonderful to be able to connect a book to a hands on activity. I nicknamed the process of making these White Chocolate Chip Cookies, Book and Cook! When you are done with them, be sure to check out our Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie and our Easy Cake Mix Butter Pecan Cookies.

You will need:
- Mr. Cookie Baker by Monica Wellington (not required, but a lovely book!)
- ½ cup butter (slightly softened)
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup and 2 tablespoons of flour
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pour the butter, white sugar and brown sugar into a large bowl and cream them together using a mixer.
We started off with a smaller bowl and soon realized the error of our ways as the mixer starting spraying bits of butter everywhere.
Add the egg and vanilla and mix together.
Then add the salt, baking soda, and flour and mix by hand until the dough forms. Stir in the white chocolate chips.
The dough should look something like this.
Grease a cookie sheet or line it with parchment paper. Drop the dough by rounded teaspoons onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes.
This recipe made 2 ½ dozen cookies.
In Mr. Cookie Baker, the baker gets ready for the day at the bakery by baking cookies for his customers. My daughter had fun pretending to be the baker preparing for the day. She even tried to sell the cookies to her sisters. That did not fly!
