Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Cream butter with sugars until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well.
- Add flour, but do not stir in yet.
- Sprinkle baking soda and salt over flour and fold in, ensuring these are well distributed.
- Mix thoroughly, then add white and milk chocolate chips.
- Bake about 8 minutes, or until light golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a chewier cookie, slightly underbake the cookies, removing them from the oven when they're just turning golden. If you don't have white chocolate chips, you can substitute them with more milk chocolate chips or even dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor. Adding a pinch of espresso powder can enhance the chocolate taste, much like in Chris' Chocolate Cake.
Serving Suggestions
These two-tone chip cookies are delightful on their own but pair excellently with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. They also make a great addition to a dessert platter alongside Great Grandma Amiot'S Gingersnaps or other American recipes at your next gathering.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To keep them soft, you can add a slice of bread to the container. If you want to reheat them, pop them in the microwave for about 10 seconds to restore their freshly baked texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate chips?
Absolutely! You can replace the white chocolate chips with peanut butter chips or even dark chocolate chips to customize the flavor. Mixing in nuts like walnuts or pecans can also add a nice crunch to the cookies.
What if I don't have baking soda?
If you find yourself without baking soda, you can substitute it with baking powder, using about 2 to 3 times the amount. Just keep in mind that this may slightly alter the texture of the cookies, making them a bit fluffier.
How can I make these cookies gluten-free?
To make these cookies gluten-free, simply swap out the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that the blend contains xanthan gum, which helps mimic the structure provided by gluten for the best results.
