  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 18 cookies

Ingredients

  • 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips or chunks
  • 100 g white chocolate pieces (for filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  3. Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix in dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in white chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Flatten a scoop of dough, place a piece of white chocolate in the center, and cover with more dough, sealing into a ball.
  8. Place dough balls on baking tray with space between them.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers soft.
  10. Cool slightly before transferring to a rack; centers remain gooey.

Notes

  • Do not overbake to keep centers gooey.
  • Use good-quality white chocolate for best melting texture.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes to reduce spreading if needed.
  • Add nuts for extra crunch.
  • Store in airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze baked cookies or dough for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat briefly to restore gooey center.
  • Use bread slice in container to keep cookies soft.
