# Step-by-Step Instructions:

05 - Blend in blue food coloring gradually until the desired shade is reached.
06 - Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
07 - Incorporate white and chocolate chips evenly into the dough by folding.
08 - Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, maintaining uniform size for consistent baking.
09 - Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers appear slightly soft.
10 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Handy Cooking Tips:

01 - For chewier cookies, slightly underbake and let them firm up on the cooling rack.
02 - Softened butter is essential for achieving a light and tender dough texture.
03 - Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
