how to make White Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Directions:
- Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer using a paddle attachment, or a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the egg to the butter mixture and mix until fully blended. Don’t forget to scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure everything mixes well.
- Add the all-purpose flour and baking soda to the bowl. Mix again until everything is combined.
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and mix until everything is evenly distributed.
- Use a small ice cream scoop, which is about 2 tablespoons, to scoop out the cookie dough and place it on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes or until the edges are a light golden brown. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy!
