White and Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you’re anything like me, you love to cook for family and friends. One of the greatest joys I have is hosting dinner at my house. Filling bellies with home cooked food that I created and prepared in my kitchen is always so gratifying.

I love to experiment and try new recipes as a hobby. Adding rosemary here, lemon pepper there…basil here, oregano there…experimenting with spices, herbs, and flavor combinations keeps my time spent in the kitchen new and fresh. Sharing those recipes with all of you is an exciting experience.

With all that being said, even though I love to experiment and try new recipes, when it comes to cooking for guests, I stick to my go to dishes. Serving tried and true recipes leaves me less worried and stressed in the kitchen. Knowing the measurements and timing leaves me with a sense of control. Having the confidence that the dishes will look and taste delicious leaves me with a sense of satisfaction.

What are my go to dishes? Well, for starters I love to serve bruschetta or Bleu Cheese and Tomato Puff Pastry Tarts. For main dishes, my White Chicken Chili and the “Tilley Special” (aka Classic 
Barbecue Spareribs) are always a big hit. For a side dish, my Mushroom Risotto is always a crowd pleaser. When it comes to dessert, Cookies and Cream Brownies always steal the spotlight.

My other favorite dessert? Sometimes nothing compares to warm cookies. Plus, if you have extra that you want to get out of the house (before you eat them all once the guests leave), package them up in cute bags and send them home with your guests as goodie bags. Not only will you serve your guests a fantastic dinner, they’ll also have a nice treat to enjoy once they’re home.

This cookie recipe is my go to cookie recipe because the cookies always come out perfectly sweet and soft. Take the main components (sugars, butter, eggs, vanilla, baking soda, salt, and four) and toss in your favorite cookie treat. Mix it all together, drop dough balls onto a baking sheet and stick them in the oven for 10-12 minutes and voila. You’ll have perfect little cookies each and every time.

I had some extra milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips in my freezer begging to be baked. So, I took my favorite go to cookie recipe, tossed in the chocolate chips, and baked cookie after delicious cookie. The best part? I had friends over the other night so I made sure to send them home with a couple bags of these tasty treats.

  1. What a great site you have! The pictures are all beautiful and the recipes are simplistic and easy to follow. I'm looking forward to more of your posts!

  2. Cookies taste great but they are a little too fluffy for me. Next time I will use 2 3/4 of flour, 3 cups was too much. Thanks for this great and easy recipe!

  3. Really great recipe. I used Ghirardelli white and bittersweet chocolate chips. So yummy! I use salted butter and tend to do a heavy poor with my salt measurement. Gives a good balance to this super sweet cookie.

  4. This recipe has been my go-to for chocolate chip cookies. I use part semi sweet and part which ever kind of darker chocolate chips. I always use a hefty portion of salt as well. Whether your following this recipe or fine tuning it to your needs- it’s best, simple recipe I have found. Xoxoxo
