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.
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
Yes you can! You can even put in M&M's if you want.
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.
I would cook them for 12-15 minutes and go from there.
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.

Notes
- 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.
- Please see my FAQ in the post above the recipe card for other tips and questions answered.
- 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.

So delicious! My 8 yr old and 4 yr old helped to mix and roll the balls and had a lot of fun! I only had about half a cup of white choc chips to use so I halved the recipe....The result was soooo yummy! Definately going to make the full recipe next time cos 9 cookies did not last long!
Highly recommend!

I love the simplicity of this recipe but these did not set up or come off the pan very well for me. Oklahoma humidity/weird barometric pressure, maybe?
Kim says
My son goes to school at the University of Oklahoma. He told me he wanted to make these cookies in his apartment... I should have him do it and see how they turn out.
To troubleshoot, be sure to use exact measurements, especially with the brown sugar and flour. With these cookies, a little off and they can become quite flat. Also, if you aren't using nonstick pans, put down parchment paper on the cookie sheet and see if that helps. If you try it again, let me know!
Elizabeth says
Horrible I made these for fun using the exact recipe, ingredients and measurements for these and they turned out feeling like sand and tasting like sand I will never use again found a better recipe that turned out way better. I was also wondering what I did wrong with these. Thank you.
Kim says
I'm sorry they didn't turn out well for you! I stand behind all of my recipes, of course, but this cookie recipe is one that I personally make at least twice a week. It is requested by teachers, for bake sales, youth group activities, fundraisers and when I make them for my kid's friends, there are literally none left. It's a great recipe. As far as what happened to your batch, I'm not sure but I encourage you to give it another try and read through the tips in the post. See if that helps.

i had been looking for a really great white chocolate/macadamia nut cookie recipe for my daughter and her boyfriend (they both love white chocolate) and tried Kim's. Tried a different recipe over Christmas 2020, wasn't thrilled with it, and now his birthday is soon, so i thought i would give a different recipe a try. Kim's recipe is exactly what i was hoping for; easy, wonderful flavor, baked off very nicely. i did some with nuts, some without...great both ways. i baked the trial batch a bit longer (maybe 2 min.) for a crisper cookie (what my husband likes) and he loved them too. Thank you Kim!! It's perfect!!
Kim says
I'm so glad! This cookie recipe is a favorite of ours and we make it often!
Sheila Strong says
Is 365 degrees the right temperature my over doesn’t have that setting
Kim says
Yes it is. In the post I explain why I use 365* for these cookies. If your oven doesn't have that temperature, use 375*. I hope that helps! enjoy! :-)

D. Zuber says
Best cookies ever!
Kim says
Thank you! They are a favorite at our house!!
Julia says
Way too sweet for our family. Would they form if I add half the sugar?
Kim says
Probably not. This cookie recipe needs to be followed for the cookies to turn out. You could certainly try!
Lindsay says
We used half the sugar (3/4 cup) and they turned out great for us! So good that I have yet to make it the right way yet and I have made it 3 times. I’m out of eggs so today I will try a sub as well :)
Kim says
I have never tried to cut the sugar in half. I may have to try it. Let me know if the sub for eggs work!
April says
Hi! Question, do you use a hand held mixer to mix the wet ingredients? Or do you just use a spoon?
Kim says
I just use a spoon. Hope that helps!
