Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips or chunks
  • ½ cup colorful sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients. Let the unsalted butter soften to room temperature for easy mixing, and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter with both granulated and brown sugars until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in color—about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is completely incorporated before adding the next. Then mix in the vanilla extract for warm flavor foundation.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Fold in White Chocolate and Sprinkles: Use a spatula to fold in the white chocolate chunks or chips and colorful sprinkles evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Bake the Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set without losing their chewy texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter to ensure smooth creaming and light, fluffy dough.
  • Avoid overmixing the dough to keep cookies tender by preventing gluten overdevelopment.
  • Measure flour properly using the spoon and level method to avoid dry or dense cookies.
  • Chill the dough optionally for thicker cookies that don’t spread too much during baking.
  • Remove cookies as soon as the edges turn golden for a soft center.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate for better flavor and melt.
