Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the white chocolate chunks.

Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least one hour to firm up and develop flavor.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Scoop dough into cookie-sized portions and place on a lined baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.

Allow cookies to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with a glass of milk or your preferred beverage.
# Notes & Tips:

Brown the butter carefully to achieve a rich, nutty flavor without burning. Refrigerate dough to prevent spreading and enhance texture. Avoid overbaking to maintain chewy centers and golden edges.
