How to Make Soft Chewy White Chocolate Chip Cookie Delights

Step 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Softened butter blends best with sugars. Use room-temperature eggs for smoother mixing. Step 2 Beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fluffy. Add egg, yolk, and vanilla. Mix until just combined. Overmixing makes cookies tough. Step 3 Fold in flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Stir gently to avoid dense cookies. Add white chocolate chips last. (Hard-learned tip: Chill dough for thicker cookies.) Step 4 Scoop dough into 2-inch balls. Flatten slightly with your palm. Chill dough 10 minutes before baking. Cold dough spreads less. Step 5 Bake 8 minutes until edges are golden. Press extra chips on top right after baking. Let cool on the sheet 5 minutes. What’s your go-to cookie add-in? Share below!
