If you have a hankering for those soft, chewy white chocolate cookies you get in bakeries, this is the recipe for you.
They're filled with creamy, sweet white chocolate and smell incredible, so your mouth will be watering even before you take your first bite.
The best news is that these amazing white chocolate cookies take less than 20 minutes to make (10 minutes to make the batter and 8 minutes to bake).
That means you can have a batch cooling on your counter quicker than you can say cookie cravings!
Here's how to make about 30 soft and chewy white chocolate cookies.
Ingredients
- 130 g (4.6 oz) salted butter softened
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- 160 g (5.6 oz) white caster sugar (superfine sugar)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 medium free range eggs
- 235 g (8.3 oz) plain white flour (all purpose flour)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 150 g (5.3 oz) white chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan-assisted).
Put the butter, golden syrup and sugar in a large bowl.
Beat together the until fluffy.
Add the egg.
Beat until well combined.
Add the flour and the baking powder.
Mix - you should now have a sticky, light dough.
Fold in the white chocolate chips.
Use a tablespoon to scoop the dough, flattening off against the side of the bowl, then roll the dough into a ball with your hands. This is the best way to get equally sized cookies.
Place the balls of dough on baking sheets lined with greaseproof paper, being sure to place each cookie at least an inch apart so that they don't stick together when they spread.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden at the edges. Get them out of the oven before they're fully browned so that they stay chewy when cool.
Allow to cool slightly on the tray until firm enough to transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
I like mine with a glass of ice cold milk or a mug of steaming hot tea, but they're good enough to eat on their own.
Let me know if you make them!

Just wanted to say I'm making these for... I think the 4th or 5th time now? I absolutely LOVE them, and so does my Mum, which is great, because she finances my baking obsession ;)
I've had two little discoveries/ ideas which I like to use when I make these.
- You know the Green & Blacks white chocolate? I chop that up and use that instead of choc chips. It really enhances the Vanilla flavour, and it's really yummy to sneak a bit while baking ;)
- I've found that reducing the emount of chocolate and subbing in some stem ginger is REALLY nice. It kind of adds a bit of a spice to the recipe, which I really love ;)
Thanks so much for this recipe- it's my new Holy Grail of the Sweet World!
Heather says
