White chocolate and milk chocolate chip cookies

Soft and fudgy chocolate cookies filled with white chocolate chunks are an irresistible treat!

I’ve sung the praises of my mama’s tried and true soft chocolate cookies on this site so many times, and you can see variations of it throughout my cookie archives. But this might be my most favorite adaptation to date!

All I’ve done is add a generous scoop of chopped white chocolate to the cookie dough, but this small alteration has a big impact. The contrast of fudgy chocolate with the smooth and creamy white chocolate is a match made in heaven. These cookies are so good, you’re not going to want to share!

Chocolate Chips vs. Chopped Chocolate

You can use either white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate from a bar for this recipe, both are great!

I like to use chopped white chocolate from a bar because I like how the irregular-sized pieces get distributed throughout the cookie. Some chunks are large (bigger than a chocolate chip, even) and those are satisfying to bite into, but some chunks are small and those little bits get spread out through the whole cookie so you get more white chocolate in every single bite.

Also, this little tip works for both white chocolate and regular chocolate. Have you ever used chopped chocolate instead of chocolate chips in a cookie recipe? It’s definitely worth trying!

How to store cookies

Cookies should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature and will keep for several weeks, though they will be at their best for up to about 5 days.

You can also store baked cookies in the freezer for several months. Let them cool completely, then place them in a freezer ziplock bag layered with parchment paper in between each cookie. Cookies can be enjoyed frozen (try it!) or you can rewarm them in a 300°F oven for 5-10 minutes and they’ll be like new again.
