Mrs Fields Black & Whites
Description
These Mrs. Fields-style Black & White cookies are a decadent treat that combines rich cocoa flavor with the creamy sweetness of white chocolate and the deep notes of semi-sweet chocolate. The dough is soft and chewy, yielding cookies that are thick, fudgy, and intensely chocolatey. They are perfect for holiday gift baskets, bake sales, or simply satisfying a serious chocolate craving on a cozy afternoon. Made with simple pantry staples like butter, brown sugar, and cocoa powder, these cookies offer a homemade comfort that rivals any bakery. The contrast between the dark cookie base and the melty chocolate chunks makes every bite exciting and indulgent.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 300&# 194;°F (149ðC).
-
Coarsely chop 1 cup of white chocolate bar and 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate bar into chunks.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, beat softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy.
-
Add dark brown sugar and granulated sugar to the butter. Beat until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
-
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
-
Fold in the chopped white and semi-sweet chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for 23 to 25 minutes, or until cookies are set but still soft in the center.
-
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Note
**Chocolate Preparation:** Ensure your chocolate bars are coarsely chopped into irregular chunks rather than finely minced. This creates pockets of melted chocolate in the finished cookie.
**Baking Temperature:** This recipe uses a lower baking temperature (300ðF) to ensure the cookies bake evenly without burning the edges while remaining soft in the center. Do not increase the temperature.
**Storage:** Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the dough balls before baking or freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months.
**Variations:** You can substitute the white chocolate with butterscotch chips or macadamia nuts for a different flavor profile.
