White Chocolate Snickerdoodles are the classic cookie with white chips baked throughout! They take regular snickerdoodles to a whole new level of yum!
We love that cinnamon sugar flavored cookie so much, we’ve made it into bread, puppy chow, and even bars! This recipe is yet another take on a classic Snickerdoodle.
White Chocolate + Cinnamon = A Dream
I’ve mentioned many times that I’m a White Chocolate kind of gal. I prefer White Chocolate Fudge Sauce over regular Hot Fudge, and even White Chocolate Scotcharoos over the classic Scotcharoos.
I just love the flavor of it! I’d honestly rather have it over any other kind of chocolate. (Don’t hate me!) That’s why I’m constantly adding it to different recipes, just to give it a shot.
That’s pretty much what we did here—we added white chocolate chips to our favorite Snickerdoodle Recipe, and boy did it turn out good! I think cinnamon and white chocolate were meant to be together (just as much as chocolate peanut butter).
Try it for yourself!
How to Make Them
DOUGH. Mix together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside. Cream together sugar and butter. Add eggs and blend well, then add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix well. Add chips.
ROLL. Shape dough into 1 inch balls and roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
BAKE. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees.
Picture Perfect: If you really want the white chocolate chips to stand out, then add a few on the top after you have rolled them in the cinnamon sugar mixture. I like to place 4 or 5 chips on top of each dough ball before baking them.
Storage Tips
You can store these cookies in their dough form to be baked later, or store them once baked.
Cookie dough: The dough can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days before baking. The dough can also be formed into balls and frozen in airtight containers for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to bake remove the balls, roll them in the sugar mix, place on a baking sheet and allow them to thaw for about 30 minutes before baking.
Baked cookie: Store the baked cookies in a container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. (placing a piece of white bread in the container will help keep them fresh longer) They can also be frozen for up to 2 months.

Perfect recipe! My family loved this for Christmas!
I also added chopped pecans! Yummy!
Love the lead-in to this recipe.. and to the two other versions. I was in need of a good snickerdoodle recipe as some of my recipes were lost in our relocating to another state. I’m sure this is a great find !
thanks for sending me an invite to your site! Love those good recipes thanks!!
I added 1tbsp vanilla extract as another reader suggested. I should have added more flour or refrigerated the dough as it was too sticky to roll in the cinnamon sugar. Other than that. the recipe was delicious. Thank you for the share❤️
Classic Snickerdoodle taste, Easy to make and loved the add white chocolate chips
And, I didn’t think snickerdoodles could get better!! Love the white chocolate chips added! They are delicious!
Soft and classic. I love the added white chocolate.
I love trying different cookies and there’s not a cookie in our home that is not welcome! Great combination.
This tasted so amazing! Thanks a lot for sharing this super easy to make white chocolate snickerdoodles recipe! Fam really loves it! Will surely have this again! Highly recommended!
Love love snickerdoodles!!! Thanks for the recipe.
My favorite cookies are snickerdoodles, and I love white chocolate, so I would LOVE these. Do you know if I can make these lower-carb by using almond flour, sugar substitute, and zero or low-sugar chocolate chips?
Thanks!
I have never tried making the cookies with any of these substitutions, but you could certainly give it a try! I know that almond flour doesn’t quite bind like regular flour – it is more dense. So you may need to adjust some of the other ingredients too so the cookies don’t end up too flat/dense. If you give it a try, you’ll have to let us know how they turn out. 🙂
Is there vanilla or other flavoring in this recipe
Ty

There isn’t one in this recipe, but you could certainly try adding one if you prefer a specific flavor. We like these ones as is, but you’ll have to let us know if you switch it up and how it turns out! 🙂
Love the addition of the white chocolate chips. So yummy!
I made this without cookies because I didn’t have any which is the reason I’m giving it 4 stars because I didn’t get the full experience 😉 super moist cookies and this recipe makes A TON!
These have become a staple recipe every Christmas to make with my family we make multiple batches! So delicious!!
I love hearing this!! Thank you so much for letting me know!
Amazing and delicious . I make these for my boys I however added a tbsp of vanilla to the recipe. My husband claims them to be the best snickerdoodle he gas ever eaten :)Every where I have taken these cookies they are always the first to be gone .
That makes me so happy to hear! Thank you for much for sharing that!
Delicious. Came out looking just like the picture. Quick to make. Love that no chilling of dough is required.
I am so glad they did!! Thank you for sharing that!
I am a huge fan of white chocolate and I can’t wait to try your White Chocolate Snickerdoodle Cookies. I’m featuring them on my blog VoteforHappiness.net
Can i get the recipe for white chocolate snickerdoodle cookies?
Thanks, Betty Menzie
It is in there 🙂 You can either print it or write it out or you can PIN it.
How many servings/cookies does your snickerdoodle white chocolate chip cookie recipe make? How big of a bag of white chocolate chips do you buy and what brand?
I usually have a big bag of white chocolate chips, since I use them a lot!! But, just for this recipe, the regular size bag will be just fine! Depending on how big your scoops are, you could get between 2-3 dozens. I like nestle brand, but use pretty much all brands:)
These are so tasty!! Thanks for the recipe.
Aren’t they?! We love anything snickerdoodle! Thanks so much for stopping by and trying these!!
I just finished this recipe for a little lunch time dessert. I will choose a cinnamon dessert over anything; even chocolate! They turned out amazing! I was able to get 3 1/2 dozen out of the dough. My family and I scarfed about a third of them down immediately. I have now eaten so many I’m nearly sick to my stomach. Great recipe!!!
This recipe does not work. They turned out disgusting.
Made these for my college age son & 3 buddies. They quickly deemed them “Crack Cookies”. I think they really liked them considering the number that disappeared. Thanks for the recipe!
Yummo!! I have never made snickerdoodles, but these are going to be a staple for me now!!! They are soft on the inside and a little crunchy on the outside and not too sweet. My batch only made about 2 1/2 dozen. I also needed to use another tbsp of sugar and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to roll the cookies in. I think I might have made them bigger. I used a half bag of the white chocolate chips, but I think next time I will use a little bit more. Thank you for a wonderful recipe!! They are super delicious!!
I love your writing voice.
Found half a bag of white chocolate chips in the cupboard and went searching for what to make with them……found this recipe and loved them!! they were so easy and perfect for dessert after a nice meal!!! Thanks a bunch!!
I form my Snickerdoodle Cookies around a pecan half, raisens or milk chocolate chips, a habit from when my son was little. He tells me it is one of his fondest memories from childhood.and it is how he makes them still. We called them “Surprise Snickerdoodles”, because we didn’t know until we bit into them what was inside. I can hardly wait to tell my son about this recipe.
These look heavenly! Yum!
Yum! I adore white chocolate and I bet it goes great with these cookies.
What a great idea for a cookie! I’m excited to give them a try.
I made these today and they are absolutely delicious! Mine turned out pretty flat and crunchy rather than thicker and chewy. I used almost an entire bag of white chips so I had about 8 dozen cookies rather than 4 dozen, which is fine but I also wondered if maybe I did something wrong with the recipe. I will certainly make them again, though.
These look absolutely YUMMY! I have been hanging around your blog for some time now and just may as well admit it!! 😉 LOVE your blog and projects!!
Ah, thanks Sara!! So glad you like the projects! That makes me so happy! I hope you can keep coming back. 🙂
These cookies look absolutely delicious Kristyn!
Thank you, Miss Katie!!! They really are the best ones I have tried yet! 😀
i make white chocolate craberry snickerdoodles… sounds like a lot, but they are SO freaking good…. try it next time you make these, add some dried cranberries. i promise it will be worth your while!
Is the recipe similar?? And you just add the dried cranberries? Sounds easy enough and super delish!! 😀
Yep, just add them in like you add the chocolate chips. I made them for my dad for Christmas, they were really tasty!
This is SUCH a good idea!! I can’t wait to try them!
I would credit Mique for the idea – I had never though of it before, but so glad I tried it. They were delish!! Let me know if you give them a try. 🙂
Ahhh, you made my favorite cookie even better! YUM!
