These Colossal Double Chocolate White Chip Cookies are from a little cookbook called Easy Peasy Recipes by Heather and Lucinda Wallace. It’s not a fancy book and there’s barely any prose, but it’s a good, solid, little recipe collection and I haven’t had a failure from the book yet.
Here’s the recipe. If I get a chance I’ll post the recipe for the other cookies in the book — White Chip Orange!

Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (530 grams)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Optional 1 1/2 teaspoons salt only if using unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups salted butter or margarine, softened
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar (240 grams)
- 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar (240 grams)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and baking soda (if using unsalted butter, add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt).
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
- Beat eggs and vanilla extract into butter mixture. Gradually stir in flour mixture. Stir in milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chips, and nuts.

Notes
For thicker cookies, shape the dough into 24 mounds, put them on a foil lined plate, then cover and chill for several hours.

February 1, 2008 at 12:46 pmThat index has a bunch of creative sounding cookies. I am a sucker for cookie cookbooks but once you have a lot it’s hard to find unusual recipes that you don’t already have. Count me in to purchase this one! By the way, your photography is looking amazing lately. I can pretty much smell these cookies!

I don’t really love white chips, but I used Ghirardelli brand and they worked perfectly. They don’t dry out as much.
Just for fun, I made two batches of the orange cookies. One batch I cut both of the sugars in half. The dough wasn’t as sweet, but it was richer and buttery and overall delicious….so you might want to try cutting the sugar too. Or maybe I’m just asking you to try that because I need your opinion ;).
