Winter Wonderland Chocolate Chip Christmas Cookies

These wonderfully festive Chocolate Chip cookies are loaded with chocolate chips plus white chocolate chips to add the wintery feel, plus red and green sprinkles for a cheerful holiday touch.

  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 36 cookies (about 3 dozen) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • Holiday sprinkles, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Set the bowl aside.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until all of the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  6. Gently fold in both the white chocolate chips and semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.
  7. Use a cookie scoop (or spoon) to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. If adding holiday sprinkles, place the sprinkles in a small bowl and roll the cookie balls into the sprinkles, then add to the baking sheets.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For thicker cookies, chill the dough balls for 15–30 minutes before baking. Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
