Ingredients Needed for Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 2 ยฝ cups all-purpose flour– For perfect texture be sure to measure your flour correctly otherwise you will end up with a cakey cookie.
- ยฝ cup unsweetened cocoa powder– Use unsweetened cocoa powder not Dutch process cocoa.
- 1 teaspoon baking soda- Helps the cookies rise and spread a little.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt- I like to use fine sea salt for its pure salt taste that blends in easily to the dough, but kosher or table will work just fine.
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature- Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature so that it can be easily creamed together with the sugar. I recommend unsalted, because salted butter contains more water and can make your cookies spread more.
- 1 cup granulated sugar- This will help crispy edges, and make for a tender cookie, so you might be tempted but don’t reduce the amount or your cookies might come out dry!
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar- Brown sugar adds moisture and richness to the cookies and create a chewy texture. If you don’t have any, make your own homemade brown sugar.
- 2 large eggs at room temperature- Make sure your eggs are at room temperature otherwise the butter will seize up in the bowl and squeeze out all the air you added during the creaming process.
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract- Use pure vanilla for best flavor but imitation vanilla extract will also work.
- 2 cups white chocolate chips- Can also swap for chopped white chocolate.
How to Make White Chocolate Chip Chocolate Cookies
Prep cookie sheets.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick silicone baking mat. Set aside.
Combine dry ingredients.
Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugar.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar on medium speed, until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add egg and vanilla.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating until combined. Add in vanilla extract.
Add dry ingredients.
Gradually add the dry ingredients, beating just until combined. With a spatula, give the dough a few remaining stirs. You want to make sure to not overmix.
Stir in white chocolate chips.
Cover and refrigerate dough for at least one hour, up to overnight.
Prep pan and ovens.
Position a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350oF (177oC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Scoop cookies.
Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, scoop dough and roll in your hands to form a smooth ball of dough and place on the cookie sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies.
Bake in a preheated 350oF oven on the middle rack, for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and middles are puffy but dry. Remove from the oven and let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Recipe Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the ingredients cream together more easily and create a light and fluffy dough.
- Don’t overmix the dough. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them retain their shape and texture.
- Use quality white chocolate chips. You can use white chocolate chips or white chocolate bar chopped. I like Ghiradelli!
Recipe Variations
- Make gluten free. Swap out the all purpose flour and use a 1:1 gluten free flour. I like Bob’s Red Mill.
- Chop white chocolate bar. Instead of white chocolate chips, you can chop white chocolate bar instead. It will give you ribbons of white chocolate throughout the whole cookie!

- Freezing: These cookies cookies freeze well. Let your cookies cool completely then place in an airtight container or sealable freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. You can let thaw at room temperature before enjoying. You can also freeze these cookies unbaked. Freeze solid on a parchment lined baking sheet, and then place in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, simply bake frozen (there’s no need to thaw), and increase the baking time slightly by a few minutes.
- Chilling the dough: For best results I recommend chilling the cookie dough overnight. But even one hour of chilling time in the fridge will help improve the cookie’s texture and help them spread less.
Gluten free: I haven’t tested these cookies with gluten free flour but generally yes for cookies you can swap out the all-purpose flour for a gluten free 1 to 1 flour. This is my favorite go to gluten free flour. - White chocolate chips – You can also use chopped white chocolate.
