Tips:

  • Use high-quality white chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the cookies.
  • Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.
