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! 🙂

I would love to make these for my friends and family in my home town. Can I make them and freeze them for about a week before I go on my trip
Karly says
That should be fine. 🙂
Mary says
What would the measurements be if you wanted to make a dozen cookies? Or can you make them smaller to make a dozen, if so how big should I make them?
Karly says
You can make them smaller, but watch the bake time.
Mary says
How much should I change the bake time?
Karly says
I don’t know…you’ll just need to keep an eye on them.
Ivey says
Are they bitter at all with dark chocolate chips? What kind of butter did you use?
Karly says
They taste like they have dark chocolate chips in them, so if you find the chips bitter, then yes. You can use any chips you prefer. I use salted butter.
Marie Haynie says
What kind of flour do you use Plain or All Purpose?
Karly says
I use all purpose flour.
Natalie adamson says

Karly says
You’ll want to use granulated sugar and all purpose flour.

Good Evening Karly 🙂
Our Women’s Group At Church Get Together & Make Cookies At ‘Christmas’ For Area Businesses And Each Lady Makes At Least 5-Dozen Cookies & We Put Them Together For About 40 Plus Businesses & After What Is Left We Take Some Of Each Home For Ourselves… 🙂
SOOO ~ My Question Is ~ How Many Times Do I Have To Increase Each Ingredient To Make At Least ~ 5-Dozen
Cookies ~ Please???? 🙂
Thank You….. 🙂
D. King says
To make about 5 dozen cookies (60 cookies), you would need to increase each ingredient amount 7 times over. ( 9 x 7 = 63 cookies)
Or, you could simply make smaller cookies, and increase recipe only by 3 or 4 times.
Karly says
This recipe CAN be doubled, but I find the cookies taste best as a single batch. I’d recommend making however many batches you need individually.
Yaraliz Rodriguez says
I just made both batches of cookies, Christmas and double chocolate… omg they are so good. I didn’t put the salt in the Christmas cookies because of the salted butter. everything else stayed the same. great easy recipe. thank you!
Karly says
Yay! So glad you gave them a try!
JANET says
Thanks Karly, these look so good and I want to include them in my Christmas cookie gift boxes! However since Christmas is such a busy time, can I make these ahead of time and freeze them?
Karly says
I haven’t froze them myself, but I think they’d freeze just as well as any other chocolate chip cookie. 🙂

Karly says
So glad to hear they’re a hit! 🙂
kim says
I’ll be making these as gifts ,different goodies in a container to friends,neighbors,and even teachers.
Barbara says
They look and sound delicousin but all those ingredients for just 9 cookies???????
Karly says
You can make them smaller if you don’t want 9 large cookies.
Mike says
Wound I cut the baking time in half of I’m cutting the cookie dough in half?
Karly says
If you make smaller cookies, the baking time will be less, but not by half. You’ll just have to keep an eye on them and pull as soon as they look done.
Kris says
I think it’s 9 servings? Not necessarily cookies?
Karly says
1 cookie = 1 serving. This recipe is for 9 cookies. 🙂
Blair says
These look so perfectly buttery and delicious. I need to try them (and your regular chocolate chip cookies) ASAP. Dangerously wonderful! 🙂
Jodi says
I’m literally drooling right now. I will have these made before I go to bed tonight (lol!). Thanks Karly!
