01 -
  • These cookies have the perfect balance of buttery richness and creamy white chocolate sweetness

02 -
  • Overbaking is the enemy of soft cookies so pull them out when centers still look slightly underdone
  • Room temperature ingredients prevent the dough from separating and ensure even baking
  • Quality white chocolate makes all the difference because cheaper brands can taste waxy
