White Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
This recipe for white chocolate chip cookies begins by creaming softened unsalted butter with light brown and granulated sugars to achieve a creamy base. Adding an egg and an extra yolk brings moisture and richness without excess egg white, keeping the texture soft. Vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor. Dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt are combined separately before being mixed into the wet ingredients, ensuring even distribution without overmixing. White chocolate chips are folded in to distribute creamy sweetness throughout the dough.
The dough is portioned onto parchment-lined baking sheets and baked at 350°F until the edges just turn golden while centers remain slightly soft. This baking approach preserves chewiness with delicate crisp edges. Cooling on the baking sheet before transferring avoids breakage and allows the cookies to set properly. The result is a soft, tender cookie that balances sweet white chocolate with buttery dough.
These cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to five days, maintaining their texture. They make a good option for enjoying fresh or gifting with their classic flavor and texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1 ¼ cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg room temperature preferred, plus 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¾ cups white chocolate chips plus additional for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment), combine the butter and sugars using an electric mixer until light and creamy (about 1 minutes on high speed).
- Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and stir until well-combined.
- In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt until well-combined.
- With mixer on low-speed, gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring until completely combined.
- Fold in white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Drop cookies by 1 ½ tablespoon-sized scoops onto prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies at least 2” (5cm) apart.
- Bake in center rack of 350F (175C) oven for 10-12 minutes, edges should be beginning to turn light golden brown, centers may appear slightly underdone, this is fine! Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet before enjoying – they’ll be fragile when warm. If desired, gently press additional chocolate chips into the surface of the cookies within 1 minute of removing from the oven.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days to maintain freshness.
