- Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in Chips: Gently stir in white chocolate chips.
- Scoop & Bake: Drop 1.5-tbsp dough balls onto the baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden.
- Cool: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Optional Add-Ins: Swap white chocolate chips for dark chocolate or add 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze dough balls for later baking.
- Texture Tip: For chewier cookies, slightly underbake (10 minutes) and let them cool completely on the sheet.
