Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (for the dough)
- 12 high-quality white chocolate truffles or thick squares (for stuffing)
- Optional: Seasonal sprinkles or sea salt flakes for topping
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining two large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips by hand. For the best results, chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Scoop about two tablespoons of dough and flatten it into a disc in the palm of your hand. Place a white chocolate truffle or square in the center of the disc. Wrap the dough around the chocolate, ensuring it is completely sealed with no gaps. Roll it into a smooth ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 3 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn a light golden brown. The centers should still look slightly soft; they will firm up as they cool.
- Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies rest on the hot pan for at least 5 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect chewy texture. Carefully transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack. While they are still slightly warm, press a few extra white chocolate chips or seasonal sprinkles onto the tops for a “bake beautiful” finish. Serve them warm to ensure the stuffed center remains melty and delicious.
