    Soft And Chewy White Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft and moist and delicious right from the oven. Grab yourself a tall glass of milk or a cup of homemade hot chocolate and enjoy this cookie recipe with family and guests.

    Sometimes the day just calls for a cookie, no matter what the temperature is outside, you know? Especially the Soft And Chewy White Chocolate Chip Cookies. However, when fall is in the air, there is just something about baking that perfect dessert, wouldn't you agree?

    These white chocolate chip cookies are just the treat to make when you are ready to start baking again. At our house, we like soft cookies. I mean, extra soft and super chewy cookies much like these Gooey Strawberry Cookies or White Velvet Cookies. The flavor in these cookies are perfect, the chewiness, excellent.

    Ingredients

    • margarine - I like to use Imperial margarine for this recipe. However butter can be used.
    • brown sugar - firmly packed
    • sugar
    • egg
    • flour - all purpose flour, I used unbleached but bleached can be used.
    • baking soda
    • salt
    • white chocolate chips

    The Process

    Now, if you like your cookie a little crunchier, you can bake these cookies a tad longer in the oven. A crunchy cookie is great to dunk in milk or in a warm cup of hot chocolate. Would you rather have Macadamia Nuts in them? You could always add them to this recipe.

    Brown sugar, white sugar in mixing bowl for cookie dough

    To make this cookie recipe: simply mix sugars, softened butter and egg together in medium bowl.

    Then mix in the dry ingredients. Stir well and put on cookie sheet (ungreased).

    Then bake and serve. Delicious and easy!

    FAQ

    Can I replace the white chocolate chips with milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips?

    Yes you can! You can even put in M&M's if you want.

    It calls for a lot of sugar, do I need all the sugar?

    Yes, you do. Too little or too much of the brown sugar will drastically result in cookies that don't turn out right. Be sure to measure the brown sugar carefully.

    We like our cookies a little crisper. How long should I cook them for?

    I would cook them for 12-15 minutes and go from there.

    Wait! 365 degrees? Why?

    Good question! I found that one of the secrets to these cookies is 365 degrees is the perfect. 375 degrees is too high and 350 degrees is too low. If you prefer, 350 degrees would be the way to go.

    I personally think this cookie recipe is the best for soft and chewy cookies and I urge you to try it. You will probably never use another cookie recipe again.

    Equipment

    • 2 cookie sheets
    • 1 mixing bowl
    • 1 cookie scoop
    • 2 cooling racks

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup margarine (softened)
    • ¾ cup sugar
    • ¾ cup brown sugar
    • 1 egg
    • 2 ¼ cup all purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1-1 ½ cups white chocolate chips

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 365°.
    • Cream together butter, sugars and egg in a large bowl.
    • Stir in flour, baking soda and salt.
    • Fold in white chocolate chips.
    • Roll into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet.
    • Bake at 365* for 9 minutes or until done.
    • Remove from cookie sheet and place on a cooling rack. Serve after cooling.

    Notes

    1. I prefer to use margarine for this recipe and feel the cookies come out better with it. This recipe was tested with Imperial margarine and it is the only one I use for these cookies and have not found another one that works as well. 
    2. Please see my FAQ in the post above the recipe card for other tips and questions answered. 
    3. If you would like to set the temperature to something other than 365 degrees, 350 would be the one to choose. I think 365 degrees is perfect, however.

      Amazing! Just what I wanted. I baked mine at 350 in a convection oven and they are perfect. I added pecans- not too many. Excellent cookies!

      Way too soft. Spread and burned. I tried lowering the degrees. Same. Unfortunately I will not be making them again. One star because the batter was good.

        When I read your comment, I had just made a batch at our house! This recipe is tried and true, probably make them at least once a week. May I offer some suggestions? Make sure they butter isn't too soft. If you microwave it and it melts, the cookies do spread. I would recommend softened butter. Also, you have to measure the packed brown sugar carefully. If the measurements aren't accurate, the cookies could spread. Same with the flour. I do hope you try it again and let me know how it goes!

      This is my go to recipe for delicious white chocolate chip cookies. So easy, soft and chewy I double the recipe and use 2 bags of white chocolate chips. My grandkids love them!

      Thank you for this awesome recipe!

      Super dry and crumbled. Not sure what happened! Not a log of wet ingredients, maybe I missed something. But the crumbles are yummy!

        I'm wondering if you added too much flour or maybe the butter wasn't softened enough. I recommend if that happens again, to just add a tablespoon or two of milk to make it not crumbly. Then bake as normal. Let me know if you try the recipe again!

      My hubby and kids love these cookies!! I wanted to eat one so bad, but I'm currently eating gluten free. My kids went through the entire mix within a day and begged me to make more. Thanks for such a recipe!!

      its my first time to make this and it turned out really bad, not sure if I skip some ingredients or my measurement is not accurate. It was cakey, far from being a cookie. Can someone please help me? I really need some help ?

        It's okay! We have all had recipes that didn't quite turn out like expected! I would try it again to see if you forgot an ingredient. It is very important when you bake to measure the ingredients carefully. When you cook, you can add a little pinch of this or that, but with baking, in order for the recipe to turn out, it has to be pretty accurate. Let me know if you try it again!

        I'm so glad you liked them! They are a favorite here. Thanks for the 5 star review. Also, they freeze great so you could make a large batch and freeze some for later. (If they make it to the freezer!) :-)

      Such an easy, quick recipe that makes amazing cookies! I would recommend 1 1/2 cups chips though as I didn’t think there were quite enough with one cup. Whole family loved them! Just be careful to really spread them out - they expand quite a lot!
