White Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
I can’t stop baking with this White Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe! I’ve tested countless yummy cookie recipes, but this one stands out with its perfect chewy texture and striking appearance.
The white chocolate chips add sweetness and a creamy, buttery element that perfectly complements the rich chocolate flavor. I also love the intensely dark cookie dough created with cocoa powder!

Just look at how those white chocolate chips pop against the dark chocolate cookie! When fresh from the oven, the chips are slightly melted and gooey, making each bite heavenly.
White Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
You can easily make these cookies. The dough comes together in just minutes! Mix your dry ingredients first so the cocoa powder blends smoothly without clumps. A soft but not melted butter creates the perfect cookie texture.
These cookies bake fast. The kitchen starts smelling amazing around minute six. Watch them closely after that! They might look underdone at 8 minutes, but that’s what you want. They’ll set up perfectly as they cool.
You also don’t need to chill this dough. Just mix, scoop, and bake! The cookies spread just right every time. They turn out thick and chewy in the middle with slightly crisp edges. Your guests will think you spent hours making them.
One batch makes enough to share, but you might not want to! They stay fresh for days in an airtight container. We love them with cold milk, hot coffee, or straight from the cookie jar. My family grabs them by the handful!

Why do my white chocolate chips turn brown when baking?
It drove me crazy when my pretty white chips came out looking not-so-white. But after countless batches of experimenting, I’ve discovered that it’s all about the temperature and positioning! White chocolate is super sensitive to heat, and too much can make it caramelize and turn golden brown.
My game-changer was strategically placing the chips on the cookie dough before baking! This way, they stay gorgeously white and create a stunning contrast against the dark cookie. I’ve also found that sticking to precisely 8 minutes of baking keeps those chips pristine.
And here’s my favorite little trick – I always save some white chocolate chips to press into the tops of the cookies right when they come out of the oven! They stay perfectly white and make the cookies look Instagram-worthy!

Can I freeze the cookie dough for later?
Yes! I love preparing cookie dough in the freezer for unexpected guests or sudden cravings.
I scoop the dough into balls, freeze them on a baking sheet until solid (about two hours), and then pop them into a freezer bag. They last up to three months but never last that long in my house!
When the cookie craving hits, I add 1-2 minutes to the baking time – no thawing is needed! You’ll have fresh-baked cookies whenever you want them!

White Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Make a batch of these White Chocolate Chip Cookies! They're the perfect cookie recipe for feeding a crowd!
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 Sticks of unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, then set aside.
- In a large bowl, use a mixer, cream butter and white and brown sugar until well combined, for about 2 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, 1-2 minutes.
- Add vanilla, beat until incorporated, 30 seconds.
- Add flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated, 30-45 seconds.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Drop dough onto a cookie sheet in tablespoon-sized balls. Bake for 8 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set and the center is slightly soft. The recipe makes 50-60 cookies, depending on size.
Notes
- Store cookies in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 7 days.
- Baked cookies can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Wrap them in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag or container.
- The dough is dark, so it can be hard to tell when the cookies are done. Use a timer for the recommended time of 8 minutes. Check the first batch for doneness, set around the edges with the center remaining soft. Adjust accordingly for the following batches.
- Add 1 cup of semi-sweet chips to the dough for an extra bit of chocolate.
