Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature adds moisture
- ½ cup white sugar sweetness
- ½ cup light brown sugar adds moisture and depth
- 1 large egg, room temperature binds ingredients
- 1 large egg yolk, room temperature adds richness
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances flavor
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour structure
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt balances sweetness
- ½ teaspoon baking powder helps with rise
- 1 teaspoon baking soda adds leavening
- ⅓ cup Dutch processed cocoa powder rich chocolate flavor

Instructions
Preparation
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or using a large bowl with a hand mixer, start by beating the room temperature butter with the white and brown sugars. Mix on medium speed for about two minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure everything is evenly mixed. Add in the room temperature egg and vanilla extract. Mix again on medium speed for about a minute.
- Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, and Dutch-processed cocoa powder all at once. Beat on low speed until the ingredients are just combined; the dough will look slightly crumbly.
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips using a spatula to ensure even distribution.
- Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 45 to 60 minutes.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out the cookie dough and place each mound on the prepared baking sheets, leaving sufficient space between each one.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 11 minutes until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a moment before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth batter. Don't skip the chilling step to maintain cookie shape while baking.
