    • Baking Soda: Helps the cookies rise.

    How To Make White Chocolate Chip Recipe

    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 started spraying bits of butter everywhere.

    Tips For White Chocolate Chip Recipe

    Tip 1: Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking and for easier cleanup.

    Tip 2: Don’t overmix the dough once you add the flour - mix it just until combined to keep the cookies soft.

    Tip 3: If you're baking with kids, give them fun tasks like measuring ingredients, mixing, or dropping dough onto the baking sheet. Little jobs make them feel involved and excited to help.

    Tip 4: Refrigerate the dough for 15–20 minutes before baking if you want thicker cookies. This makes it so they won't spread as much.

    FAQS For White Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

    Can I use regular chocolate chips instead of white chocolate chips?

    Yes, you can. You can swap in regular milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips if you prefer, or even try other types like butterscotch or peanut butter chips. This recipe is super versatile, so feel free to experiment with different mix-ins.

    How do I store these cookies?

    Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage. To enjoy after freezing, pop a frozen cookie into the microwave for 10-15 seconds for a freshly baked taste.

    Can I make the dough ahead of time?

    Yes, you can make the dough a day ahead and keep it covered in the fridge. When you’re ready to bake, just scoop the dough onto a baking sheet and bake as directed.
