Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (270g)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda (3g)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (230g)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 1 cup packed light-brown sugar (200g)
  • 3/4 tsp salt (4g)
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract (10ml)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips (300g), divided

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 360°F and line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Beat the butter and sugars: Combine the butter and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat on high speed until light and fluffy. Add the brown sugar and continue mixing until well-combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients: Mix in the vanilla extract, then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
  • Incorporate the dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Stir in most of the white chocolate chips, reserving a handful for topping.
  • Scoop the dough: Use a 2-tablespoon-size cookie scoop to portion out the dough and place it on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches of space between each cookie.
  • Bake: Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. If you want extra chips on top, bake for 8 minutes, then add the reserved chips and bake for another 2–3 minutes.

Notes

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
