White chocolate lovers, you have got to try these soft and chewy white chocolate chip cookies! Made with 9 simple ingredients, these white chocolate cookies are ready in just 20 minutes. I’ve tested them with dairy ingredients and also dairy free to make sure they work both ways!

I think we all know I love a chocolate chip cookie (like my favorite chocolate chip cookies and mini chocolate chip cookies!) and it was time for a classic with a twist – white chocolate chip cookies!

Just like all my cookie recipes, these chocolate chip cookies with white chocolate are a breeze to make. They’re made in one bowl, and fewer dishes are always a win for me.

Ingredient Notes

  • Butter: You can use regular butter or vegan butter if you’re dairy-free. When I tested these I preferred the version with salted butter!
  • White Chocolate: You can use white chocolate chips or chop up a white chocolate bar, or both which is my personal preference!

How To Make These Cookies

Mixing bowl with cookie dough and hand mixer on a light blue tile counter. Nearby are a bowl of flour and white chocolate chips.

Beat butter and sugars together, then add egg and vanilla.

Expert Recipe Developer Tips

  • I always recommend using a kitchen scale to weigh out your flour! It’s so easy to add too much flour if you’re using measuring cups, which will make your cookies dry.
  • Want bigger cookies? Scoop out 3 tablespoons instead of 1 ½! This will make 12 larger cookies. 
  • Make sure to take the cookies out of the oven when the edges have set, but the middles still aren’t golden brown. This is the key to the perfect soft and chewy cookie!

  • cup (281 g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾-1 cup white chocolate chips, plus more for topping, (regular or dairy free)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit (180 Celcius) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

  • Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
  • Add in flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until a dough forms, then stir in the white chocolate chips.
