Do you like white chocolate? If you do, but you also have a tree nut allergy, do you ever get annoyed when grocery stores and bakeries only sell white chocolate chip and macadamia cookies?

This is a constant frustration that I’ve faced over the years, especially since I prefer white chocolate over the semi-sweet chocolate often used in cookies. After doing some research, I found the perfect recipe for white chocolate chip cookies; a copycat recipe of Mrs. Fields’.

Mrs. Fields White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup of unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup of sugar
  • ¾ cup of brown sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups of white chocolate chips

You’ll Also Need

  • 2 or 3 bowls
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Cookie scoop
  • A handheld or stand mixer
  • A baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Cooling rack
  • An oven 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Melt the butter beforehand
  3. In one bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, salt, and baking soda.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, and melted butter.
  5. Using a mixer, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. I’d recommend using a ¼ measuring cup to add a little at a time.
  6. Prepare the baking pans by placing parchment paper on their surface. Then, using a cookie scoop, place spoonfuls of cookie dough on top of the paper.
  7. Once the oven is done preheating, bake the cookies. Be sure to set a timer:
    • Small cookies: 9-11 minutes
    • Large cookies: 12-14 minutes
  8. After the timer goes off, take the pans out and let the cookies sit for another 5 minutes before moving them to the cooling rack.
  9. When they’ve finished cooling off, enjoy!
