How to Make Cinnamon White Chocolate Cookies
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Add parchment paper to two cookie sheets.
Step One: Mix the sugar and butter with an electric mixer. You want the mixture to be light and fluffy.
Step Two: Add the vanilla extract and eggs. Mix until smooth.
Step Three: Stir in the ground cinnamon, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix in the white chocolate chips.
Step Four: Shape the cookie dough into 24 balls. Place the cookie dough balls onto the cookie sheets. Leave 2 inches between each one.
Step Five: Put the sheets in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let the baked cookies cool on a wire rack.
Top Tip
For thicker cookies, you can chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
Substitutions
- Sugar - You can also use dark brown sugar for these cookies, as it's a good sweetener option that pairs well with the sweetness of the white chocolate chips. It also helps with a golden brown coloring.
Variations
- Chocolate - While I prefer using white chips, you could use dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips as well. You can also break apart white chocolate bars and use them in the cookie dough.
See these Raspberry and White Chocolate Cookies for another delicious flavor combination.
Equipment
To make these homemade cookies, you'll need to have an electric mixer, a large mixing bowl, a cookie sheet or baking sheet, and parchment paper for the prepared baking sheets.
Storage
Once these cookies are baked, store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crisp. They can be stored at room temperature or in the fridge. If you don't store them in a single layer, be sure to put parchment paper between the layers to prevent them from sticking.
You can also freeze leftover cookies by storing them in a freezer-safe bag or container.
Common Questions
Sure - there is always room for toppings. Sprinkling a cinnamon sugar mixture on top adds a bit more sweetness to each bite, or you can also melt white chocolate and drizzle that on top of each cookie.
These cookies will crisp and firm as they cool, so if you try to remove them from the baking sheet too early, they will crumble and fall apart. They're still delicious, just not as pretty.
Be sure to let them cool down completely before trying to move or pick up, otherwise they will likely break apart and you'll have pieces of cookies instead of nice, whole ones.
