Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (270g) white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups (280g) of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat 3/4 cup (170g) of unsalted butter with 3/4 cup (150g) of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup (100g) of brown sugar until light and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Using a spatula, gently fold in 1 1/2 cups (270g) of white chocolate chips. Ensure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches (5cm) apart.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked—this is perfect for that chewy texture!
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies.’, ‘Chill the dough for 30 minutes if your kitchen is warm to prevent spreading.’, ‘Watch the bake time closely; slightly underbaked cookies will have a chewier texture.’, ‘Use fresh baking soda for the perfect rise and texture.’, ‘Customize with macadamia nuts, dried cranberries, or shredded coconut for variations.’]
