Recipe FAQs
When you start to see the edges of the cookie set, you will be getting really close. It’s a little hard to tell when these dark cookies are done, so I recommend setting a timer so you don’t burn the cookies.
I freeze cookies all the time. I make a big batch and save the extra for school lunches or a quick dessert. Make sure they are stored in an airtight container and you are good to go.
These cookies don’t need to be chilled which makes this a really quick recipe to make.
Expert Tips
- These cookies are dark, making it hard to see when they’re done. Set a timer to avoid overbaking.
- For a prettier cookie, press a few extra white chocolate chips on top before baking.
- Use a cookie scoop to ensure uniform-sized cookies that bake evenly.
How to Serve and Store Chocolate Cookies with White Chocolate Chips
Serve these cookies alongside a glass of cold milk or hot chocolate. Pair them with vanilla or chocolate ice cream for a delicious dessert sandwich. You also might love my chocolate crinkle cookies and dark chocolate halloween M&M cookies.
Keep the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Freeze cookie dough balls on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a zip-top freezer bag for up to 3 months. Bake straight from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
