Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup butter, softened (regular or dairy free)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1½ tbsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ¾ tsp baking soda
  • 2¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾-1 cup white chocolate chips, plus more for topping (regular or dairy free)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit (180 Celcius) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a standing mixer with the paddle attachment or a handheld mixer, combine butter and sugars, mixing until light and fluffy (1-2 minutes).
  • 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.
  • Use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to make 1.5 tbsp sized balls and place them on one baking sheet around 3-4 inches apart. Add more chocolate chips on top of each ball of dough if desired.
  • Bake the cookies (one sheet at a time for even baking) for 6-9 minutes. The edges of the cookies will look set. The middle will look just set, but not golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and leave them on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Enjoy!

Notes

Measuring Flour: Properly measure your flour using either a kitchen scale or by fluffing it up in the bag with a fork, then using a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup and then use the back of a butterknife to level it off (the is the scoop and level method)
Storage and Freezing: Store the cookies in an airtight container or ziploc bag at room temperature for 5-6 days.
The baked cookies can be frozen in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature when you're ready to eat them.
