2 large Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tsp Baking Soda
½ tsp Salt
2 cups All-Purpose Flour
2 cups White Chocolate Chips

Step-by-Step Instructions

Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, use a mixer or a sturdy wooden spoon to blend the peanut butter, butter-flavored shortening, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and silky.
Add the Dry Ingredients: Stir in the baking soda, salt, and flour until fully incorporated.
Fold in the White Chocolate Chips by hand, ensuring an even distribution of sweetness in every bite.
Preheat Your Oven to 350°F. If using a baking stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
Scoop & Drop: Use a medium cookie scoop to form evenly sized dough balls and place them a couple of inches apart on your baking sheet or stone. No need to press them flat!
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the cookies turn golden brown.
Cool & Store: Immediately transfer the cookies to a cooling rack. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh and chewy.

Pro Tips for the Best Cookies

Use a Baking Stone for Even Baking – While any baking sheet will work, a stone helps distribute heat more evenly, creating perfectly baked cookies every time.
Don’t Overbake! – These cookies may look slightly underdone when you take them out, but they’ll firm up as they cool, keeping that irresistible chewiness.
Customize Your Cookies – Try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for an extra flavor boost, or swap white chocolate for dark or milk chocolate chips!
