White Chocolate Cookies
White chocolate cookies are a super easy Christmas cookie delight! A buttery cookie dipped in rich white chocolate.
Ingredients
A basic butter cookie recipe is made from ingredients that most pantries already have on hand. BUTTER Different brands of butter can vary in the amount of salt they contain so it’s best if you use unsalted and add the salt yourself. SUGAR White sugar keeps these cookies bright and pretty, with a light flavor. They are good for decorating, too! (if you have clear vanilla, use it in this recipe). EGG YOLKS Using just the yolk makes these cookies extra rich and they bake up beautifully, too. CHOCOLATE We love white chocolate wafers for dipping because they melt perfectly smooth.
Variations
Feel free to play with flavors by using extracts like almond, lemon, coconut, or rum and toppings like crushed nuts like macadamias or pecans, mini chocolate chips, or chopped dried cranberries. Try adding in some candied cherries, dried fruits or even nuts for a chewy version! Press your thumb into the cookie and bake for a few minutes, then scoop a tiny bit of raspberry jam in the center and bake for another 5 minutes. So many ways to decorate!
To Make White Chocolate Cookies
A stand mixer will make combining the ingredients easier since the dough will be firm.
To Bake: Simply slice and bake.
To Decorate
These can also be decorated with frosting or sugar cookie icing.
Tips
Ensure ingredients are room temperature (including egg). Measure flour by scooping the flour into the measuring cup (don’t scoop the flour with the measuring cup. Beat the sugars for the time specified for the best results. Undermixing the dough can cause it to be crumbly. Do not skip chilling or the dough will spread.
To Make Ahead
Raw dough can be refrigerated for up to 4 days for last-minute cookie baking sessions. Raw dough can be kept in the freezer for up to 2 months wrapped in parchment paper and plastic wrap. Let cookie dough thaw in the refrigerator until it’s ready to use.
