About White Chocolate Chip Cookies
Technically speaking I should call these cookies 'White Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Cookies' - but that's quite a mouth full. And our mouths are going to be busy already tasting these insanely delicious cookies.
These white chocolate chip cookies give classic chocolate chip cookies a creative spin. Adding crystallized ginger is optional but I highly recommend not skipping this step.

How To Make White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Shop The Tools for This White Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Small Food Processor - I like this small Kitchenaid food processor for simple jobs. The nutribullet works great, too, and is what I used to pulverize the crystallized ginger.
Hand Mixer - While it's a bit on the pricer side, the Breville hand mixer is excellent.
Oxo Mixing Bowls - These are my favorite mixing bowls. They have a stainless steel interior and no-skid bottoms. Perfect for baking and cooking.
Baking Sheet - Look at commercial-grade baking sheets. A good-quality baking sheet will distribute the heat better and your cookies will brown more evenly.

Recipe Notes and tips
Unlike a lot of cookie recipes, this one doesn't require any baking powder. Instead, for this recipe, we'll use self-rising flour.
About Crystallized Ginger
Let's talk about using crystallized ginger.
If you're like me, crystallized ginger is not something you'll typically stock in your pantry.
The only time you'll find it at my house is during 'cookie baking season' in Fall and Winter. You can find a small container for about $5 at your local grocery store.
BUYING TIP - Stores like Whole Foods, sell crystallized ginger in bulk. Simply weigh the amount (~ 4 ounces for this recipe) of crystallized ginger you'll need for the recipe and you don't have any unwanted leftovers.
Prep and Storage
You can make this cookie recipe two days in advance and store the cookies in an air-tight container a week.
TIP - If you're eating cookies that are already a couple of days old, reheat them quickly in the microwave on high for 15-20 seconds.
Because nothing beats a warm cookie!!!
Sharing is Caring
These cookies make great hostess or teacher appreciation gifts. And if you are planning to bring a few cookies to your mom, best friend, coworker, you'll love these resealable pouch bags.
Not to mention they will fly off the table at any bake sale.
