These white chocolate chip cookies are stuffed with extra chips and Christmas sprinkles for a festive little cookie that you won’t be able to stop munching on!
Last year, when I was perfecting my perfect chocolate chip cookies, I don’t think I realized how often we would make those cookies. I mean, having a go to chocolate chip cookie recipe is probably one of my favorite things in life.
I have the recipe memorized and it’s literally the EASIEST cookie recipe ever since it starts with melted butter and doesn’t require chilling. This means that as soon as a homemade chocolate chip cookie craving hits, I can have cookies in my mouth in just 20 minutes. It’s both dangerous and fabulous, as most great things in life are. 😉
Anyway, I use that cookie dough recipe for lots of things. Like my double chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip toffee cookies, and chocolate peanut butter cookies. The dough is so easy to make and it’s so versatile!
I’m all about Christmas cookies right now, you guys! I find myself baking cookies day after day the entire month of December and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I mean, really. Who would?!
Sometimes, though, Christmas cookies can be a bit of a pain in the butt.
Mostly, I’m just talking about cut out sugar cookies. Between the rolling out and cutting of the dough to the decorating with fancy piping bags and 33 different colors of icing, those Christmas cookies take an awful long time from start to finish.
Sure, they’re pretty and I’ll make them every year, but mama doesn’t always have time for all that. Sometimes mama needs cookies that take minimal effort, still look cute, and are just plain delicious.
Today, I’ve stuffed my easy cookie dough recipe with both white and dark chocolate chips and some Christmas sprinkles. It’s the perfect excuse to make a simple recipe for the holidays! I mean, I love those elaborately decorated sugar cookies as much as anyone, but sometimes you need a holiday treat in 20 minutes, you know?
Let me know if you add these to your holiday cookie trays! 🙂
