    Inside Out Chocolate Chip Cookies

    These inside out chocolate chip cookies are packed with chocolate flavor and plenty of white chocolate chips. They are super easy to make and ready in less than 30 minutes!

    Inside out chocolate chip cookies are basically chocolate chip cookies in reverse. Instead of a light colored cookie with dark or milk chocolate chips, it’s a chocolate cookie with white chocolate chips. They are also known as chocolate white chocolate chip cookies.

    If you like the classic version of chocolate chip cookies then you’ll love these too.

    They are mega chocolatey and so delicious. Not to mention gorgeous looking with the white chocolate chips contrasting beautifully with the dark chocolate cookie.

    If you love these you’ll also love our double chocolate cookies and our white chocolate chip cookies.

    Ingredients You’ll Need:

    Ingredient Notes

    • Cocoa powder – should be natural, unsweetened cocoa powder (e.g Hersheys)
    • White chocolate chips – or chopped up premium quality white chocolate (such as Lindt) will both work great here.
    • Butter – ideally should be softened. But if you forget, just cut it into cubes and beat it in the stand mixer for a few minutes to soften before you add the sugar and cream them together.

    Recipe Tips

    Spoon and level the flour (or weigh it). It’s important to measure the flour correctly or the cookies will be too dry. You can use the spoon and level method: spoon the flour into your measuring cup and then level off the top with a knife, don’t scoop the flour and don’t pack it into your cup. Or weigh it out on a food scale for complete accuracy.

    Add extra white chocolate chips to the tops of the cookies when they come out of the oven and are still warm and soft. It looks super pretty.

    Storing and Freezing

    Keep your cookies stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also keep them stored in the fridge.

    They are also freezer friendly for up to 3 months.

      I made these today and I’m not sure if it’s me but they came out super dry and hard even tho I added everything to the exact measurements. I’m planning on making them again. If the dough is a little too dry before baking them is there anything I can add to make the dough softer?

        Hi Nat, it sounds like you may have over-measured the flour, we have tips in the notes for how to measure the flour. If it turns out too dry due to too much flour, you can add some milk to the cookie dough, add only 1 tablespoon at a time, until the cookie dough is a good consistency that can easily roll into balls. All the best!

      Amazing recipe!! These cookies were gobbled up in no time and enjoyed by all! I decided to skip rolling the dough into balls and just scooped them out onto the pan with a cookie scoop. This saved some time and some mess and they still turned out great! (Not quite as round as the photos doing it this way, but still absolutely scrumptious looking and tasting!) Will definitely be making this recipe again! Thanks, Alison!5 stars

      These are delicious!! I used half dark cocoa and half regular cocoa. It made a lot more than 20 but I made them about medium sized. I also used vanilla chips instead of white chocolate chips.5 stars
