A Cookie with a Past

White chocolate chip cookies grew popular in the 1980s. They were a twist on classic chocolate chip cookies. *Did you know white chocolate isn’t technically chocolate?* It skips cocoa solids, using just cocoa butter. Still, it’s a star in treats.

Ingredient	Amount	Notes

How to Make White Chocolate Chip Cookie Delights

Step 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy. Set it aside while you mix the dough. Step 2 Cream butter and sugars in a stand mixer. Use medium speed for 4 minutes. The mix should look light and fluffy. (Hard-learned tip: Soften butter at room temp—never microwave it!) Step 3 Add the egg to the butter mix. Beat until fully combined. Scrape the bowl sides to avoid lumps. Your dough will look glossy and smooth. Step 4 Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together. This keeps the cookies tender. Whisk gently to blend the dry ingredients. No one wants a bite of baking soda! Step 5 Mix dry ingredients into the wet batter. Stop as soon as it’s combined. Overmixing makes tough cookies. Fold in white chocolate chips by hand. Step 6 Scoop dough with a tablespoon measure. Space cookies 2 inches apart. Bake 10–11 minutes until edges are golden. Centers will look soft—they firm up as they cool. What’s your go-to cookie add-in? Chocolate chips, nuts, or something wild? Share below!

Storing and Reheating Your Cookie Delights

Keep cookies fresh by storing them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll last up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze dough balls or baked cookies for 3 months. Thaw frozen cookies at room temp before enjoying. *Fun fact*: A slice of bread in the container keeps cookies soft! Why this matters: Proper storage saves time and prevents waste. Want to bake ahead? Double the batch and freeze half for impromptu treats. Ever tried freezing cookie dough? Share your tips below!

Fixes for Common Cookie Troubles

Cookies spread too much? Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Dough too dry? Add a teaspoon of milk or water. Cookies too crisp? Bake 1 minute less next time. Why this matters: Small tweaks make big differences in texture. My neighbor swears by chilling dough overnight—her cookies are perfect every time. What’s your go‑fix for baking flops?

Your Cookie Questions Answered

Can I make these gluten-free? Swap flour for a 1:1 gluten-free blend. Add ¼ tsp xanthan gum if needed. How far ahead can I prep dough? Refrigerate for 3 days or freeze for 3 months. Bake straight from cold. Can I use dark chocolate instead? Yes! Any chip works, but adjust sweetness if using bittersweet. How do I scale this recipe? Double or triple ingredients evenly. Bake in batches to avoid overcrowding. Why do centers look undercooked? They firm up while cooling. Overbaking makes cookies hard.
