Ingredients You Need To Make White Chocolate Chip Cookies
Note: the whole recipe, including the ingredient quantities, can be found at the bottom of this page – just scroll down to the bottom, or click the ‘Jump to Recipe’ button at the top of this post.
- Flour – I used all-purpose flour also known as plain flour. Make sure you sift it.
- Baking powder – will help the cookies rise slightly.
- Salt – I used fine salt.
- White Chocolate Chips – these are chocolate chips for baking and can be found in the baking isle of your supermarket.
- Butter – make sure you use soften butter for best results.
- Granulated sugar – you can also use caster sugar also known as superfine sugar.
- Brown sugar – I used regular brown sugar. Not dark.
- Eggs – I used large eggs. The addition of an egg yolk helps make these cookies richer and slightly chewier.
- Vanilla essence – I use imitation vanilla essence and not vanilla extract because it gives these a classic vanilla cake flavor. You can use real vanilla extract if you like.
How to make White Chocolate Chip Cookies!
- Mix the dry ingredients together.
- Cream the butter and sugars together.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix using a spatula until combined. Use an ice cream scoop to scoop out 12 cookie dough balls.
- Chill in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight.
- Once baked, use a round cookie cutter to shuffle around the cookie to make them round (optional).
- Add more white chocolate chips on top.
Tips and Tricks For Recipe Success!
- Measure out using kitchen scales – measuring ingredients out by weight and not cups is the best way to get consistent results every time! I wrote more about it here!
- Don’t skip the chill time! – it will stop your cookies from spreading too much and coming out super flat.
- Using a cookie scoop is the easiest way to get even sized cookies which means they’ll bake at the same time and look uniform too.
- Add more chocolate chips on top after baking.
- Make sure your butter is softened so that it creams nicely with the sugars.
- Space the cookies apart when baking so they have enough time to spread. I use half sheet baking trays and bake them 6 cookies at a time.
- Let the cookies cool completely before taking off the baking tray.
Frequently Asked Questions about White Chocolate Chip Cookies
How To Store These Cookies.
Baked cookies: Store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
To freeze: freeze your cookie dough balls (unbaked) on a flat baking tray and then place in a zip lock bag. Allow frozen cookie balls to thaw for 10 minutes at room temperature before baking for fresh cookies on demand!
What type of chocolate chips should you use?
I used nestle chocolate chips that you can find in the baking isle of your supermarket. Anything that is designed for baking will work. Regular white chocolate for eating is likely to seize or burn.
What other things can I add to the cookies?
So many things! Couple of my faviorite additions are:
- Dried cranberries
- Macadamia nuts
- Chocolate or dark chocolate chips
- Pecans!
Why this recipe is in grams and not cups?
