Soft, chewy white chocolate chip cookies are a delightful and unique twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie. These cookies have a soft and chewy texture, with a hint of vanilla flavour and the creamy sweetness of white chocolate.
Add room-temperature soft butter in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth and creamy.
To the mixture, add light brown sugar and caster sugar and beat until well combined.
Add an egg and beat for a few seconds.
“This is the ideal consistency that we should aim for – smooth and fluffy.”
Sift all the dry ingredients into the mixture.
Combine the dry ingredients with the wet using a spatula until well incorporated.
Add in vanilla extract and gently mix well.
Finally, add the white chocolate chips and mix well until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Wrap the bowl with cling film and chill the cookie dough for 15 to 20 minutes. Chilling helps to hold the shape of the cookie.
Preheat the oven to 170°C and scoop equal parts of cookie dough onto a greased baking tray.
Bake the chocolate chip cookies for only 11 minutes or until light brown (the center will be soft). Cool for 2 to 3 minutes and remove from the cooking tray to the cooling rack. Cool completely, and then store in an airtight container.
Serve the chocolate chip cookies with a cuppa of chilled milk or devour as it is. I love to eat immediately straight out of the oven.
Notes
You can add nuts along with chocolate chips. Any favourite nuts are purely your choice.
A combination of chocolate chips and bar chopped chocolate bars gives a nice texture to the cookies.
You can add chopped dried fruits of your choice to the cookies.
Dark chocolate chips with chocolate chips are a beautiful combo for these cookies. It gives a beautiful colour to studded cookies.
You can use brown sugar or dark brown sugar with regular white sugar. If you want your cookies to be chewier, skip white sugar and use only brown sugar.
