These chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips are the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth. They’re chewy, buttery and have a combo of semi-sweet and white chocolate chips for loads of flavor!
Ohhhh I’m a sucker for delicious cookies. I mean does it really get any better than a cookie fresh from the oven with a glass of cold milk?! I think not! Though I love about any kind of cookie (my Chocolate Chip Cookies are hard to beat!), these are another one of my faves!
Why I love these cookies
- I love chocolate, so its no surprise these fudgy chocolate cookies are right up my alley!
- No chilling needed!!! Though, you can certainly can if you want.
- Deep chocolate flavor. They’re deliciously chocolatey with cocoa powder, white chips, AND semi-sweet chips!
- Easy, one-bowl recipe!
Ingredients Needed
- Butter – I use salted for this recipe. If you use unsalted butter, simply add an additional 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the dough
- White Sugar
- Brown Sugar – Light or dark brown sugar will work great
- Egg – I use large eggs when baking
- Milk – Any milk or milk alternative will work great
- Vanilla Extract
- All-purpose flour
- Cocoa Powder
- Baking Soda
- Salt
- Chocolate Chips – I use a mixture of white chocolate chips AND semi-sweet chips. However, you could use all white chips (or even white chocolate chunks), if you prefer.
How to Make
These cookies are very simple to make! I’ve got a few tips at the very end of the baking process to make them extra pretty, too!
In a large bowl, combine the softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy. You can do this by hand, but I recommend using an electric mixer or stand mixer.
Then add the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
Next, you’ll add the dry ingredients and stir on low speed just until combined. Then it’s time to stir in the chips!
Once the dough is mixed up, you can either choose to cover and refrigerate for up to 36 hours or bake right away.
When you’re ready to bake, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and scoop the dough onto the prepared sheets.
Bake one cookie sheet at a time in a preheated oven until they’re just set. With the cookies being dark, it’s hard to tell if they’re done (since you can’t see if they’re “golden brown”). One thing that helps me is to look more at the texture of the cookie. If it’s glossy looking, it’s still super doughy and needs to bake longer. If it’s looking a little more dry around the outside of the cookie and a little moist in the center, they’re likely done. It takes some practice! They will set up as they cool, as well, so keep that in mind.
Once the cookies are done, I like to do two things to make them look extra delicious! First, I use a glass to make sure they’re in perfect circles (see photo above center). Then, I take a few extra white chocolate chips and pretty them gently into the tops of the cookies.
Let them cool for a while then move the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Making the BEST Cookies
- Use good quality white chips for the best flavor. Ghirardelli is my favorite!
- Don’t overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough before baking if you want extra chewy cookies.
- Bake the cookies until they are just done. Overbaking will make the cookies dry.
- Put the cookies in an airtight container once they’re cool so they don’t dry out.
Frequently Asked Questions
You can keep these stored at room temperature in an airtight container or freeze them.
Yes! These freeze really well. I recommend freezing them in an airtight container or freezer bags for up to 3 months.
Absolutely! I like using half white and half semi-sweet so it’s not overly sweet. However, some might enjoy all white chips better – it’s just a preference thing!
Yummy Variations
- Use peanut butter chips for a delicious chocolate peanut butter cookie!
- Use all semi-sweet chocolate chips for double chocolate chip cookies!
- Use a combination of dark chocolate, semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips for the chocolate lovers!
- Use 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup caramel bits for a turtle cookie!
- Use all white chocolate chips for those big white chocolate fans!!

Thanks love to try new recipes.
Your cookies are absolutely delicious. So easy to make and they came out of the oven looking perfect! I didnt have semi sweet chips so I added chopped walnuts with the white chips. Love this cookie. Thanks for sharing! 💕💕💕
Just made these cookies and this recipe did not disappoint! Delicious! I did add some walnuts which just added to the flavor! Thank you!
The batter is wet and sticky but boy does it make the most lovely, moist, fudgey
cookies! Made these with gluten-free flour and they turned out perfect, definitely recommend! They taste best after being cooled for about ten minutes, when the white chocolate is still a bit melty.
Very good, husband loves them
Bea’s got the right idea, 10 minutes after baking is peak taste.
I doubled the recipe for holiday baking transit, and it all went over well! Chips are interchangable, to your preference, so highly recommend.
Ok, wow!! These are amazing!! Will add walnuts next time, but this is my new favorite cookie recipe!! Thank you!!
It was very good
I made these cookies following the recipe exactly. The flavor is great but they turned out very, very cakey. They didn’t spread at all. I was so disappointed. The cookie dough was very sticky and gummy (I had to spray the scoop with Pam every 2-3 cookies) but I didn’t want to add more flour! I added a few tablespoons of butter but that didn’t help much. What do you think I did wrong? I’ve been baking cookies for almost 60 years and thought I knew what I was doing.
Hi Rennie – I’ve never had these turn out too cakey! This dough is sticky, but the cookies should be soft on the inside and crisp around the edges. Sorry yours didn’t turn out…I’m not sure what could’ve gone wrong! ~Kelsey
Made these with King Arthur 1:1 GF flour and they were awesome! I keep the dough balls frozen and just take out a few at a time to thaw in the fridge then bake. Otherwise I’d eat them all at once 😂
Best cookies I’ve ever made! Delicious and with a few helpful hints from Google for high altitude baking (used all five!), these turned out fluffy, chewy and beautiful as well as so super yummy.
So happy to hear, Kevin!! ~Kelsey
How big should the cookie balls be and what size scoop are you using? I don’t have a cookie scoop and want to make sure I make the right size for proper baking.
Hi Beth – I really need to do a better job at keeping track of the cookie scoop sizes I use and adding it to the recipe! I believe it was my size 24 scoop which is just under 3 tablespoons of dough. I hope that helps!! ~Kelsey
My picky mom loves these more than anything else I make. I can’t thank you enough for the recipe. It helped me get into baking and provided something different to my friends and family. Made me feel like a real chef
Awww so good to hear! ~Kelsey
