Calories: 185kcal
Ingredients
- ¾ cup butter flavored shortening
- ¾ cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour spooned, leveled
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together shortening, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at at time and vanilla to the bowl and mix, incorporating into the dough comest together.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
- Gently add the dry ingredients into the sugar mixture in a couple increments, combining until dough comes together. Do not over mix.
- Stir or fold in white chocolate chips.
- Using a 2 inch cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop 2 tablespoons of dough, roll into balls and place on a prepared cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake at 375 for 9-10 minutes; until the edges are a golden brown and the center is no longer wet looking.
- Cool for 3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- For best results, use a cool(ed) baking sheet between batches. I use 2 sheet pans and wait to scoop another batch until the last pan is done baking.
- Room temperature butter will incorporate the most air into your dough when whipped with the sugar.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before storing.
- If your kitchen is warm, place your dough in the fridge for 20 minutes before scooping to keep your cookies from spreading while baking.
- In an airtight container, store cookies at room temperature for 7-10 days and in the refrigerator for 3-4 weeks. Cookies can be stored in a freezer container for 6 months.
- You could also use this recipe to make regular chocolate chip cookies by substituting semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips. Butterscotch chips would also be so good.
- Another amazing addition would be a cup of macadamia nuts!
- A sprinkle of sea salt over these cookies after they come out of the oven would be so tasty.
