Preparation Steps
1
Let the butter soften at room temperature to make it easier to work with. This will help ensure the cookie dough has a soft and homogeneous consistency.
2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. You can use a hand whisk or an electric mixer for easier blending.
3
Add the vanilla extract, salt, and egg, then mix thoroughly until a uniform mixture is achieved.
4
Gradually sift in the flour and mix with a spatula or by hand until a formable, non-sticky dough is formed.
5
Chop the white chocolate into smaller pieces and gently fold it into the dough. This will create delicious melted chocolate chunks in the cookies during baking.
6
Shape the dough into a large ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
7
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
8
Remove the dough from the refrigerator, form small balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten them to create flatter cookies.
9
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, until the edges are slightly crispy, but the center remains soft.
10
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack, then serve or store in an airtight container.
