What Are Inside Out Cookies?
An Inside Out Cookie typically refers to a cookie where the traditional order of ingredients is reversed or altered. In this case, we use a chocolate cookie as a base and add white chocolate chips (instead of a Classic Chocolate Chip cookie which would feature a vanilla cookie base and regular chocolate chips). It's a creative twist on the classic cookie, offering a delightful surprise for both the eyes and the taste buds.
What Do Inside Out Cookies Taste Like?
Inside Out Cookies have a rich, chocolatey flavor from the inclusion of cocoa powder. The combination of vegan butter, flax eggs, and the sweetness from either cane or brown sugar contributes to a deliciously balanced sweetness. The addition of white chocolate chips further enhances the overall flavor profile, providing creamy and sweet bursts in each bite. You can expect the Inside Out Cookies to have a delightful blend of chocolatey richness, sweetness, and the creamy goodness of white chocolate chips, creating a uniquely satisfying taste experience.
Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon flax seed meal (for flax eggs)

- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ⅔ cup regular or gluten-free all-purpose flour

Inside Out Cookie Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a small bowl, prepare flax eggs by mixing flax seed meal with hot water. Set aside for 2 minutes until a gel forms. Skip this step if using a regular egg.
Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine melted vegan butter, sugar, almond or oat milk, vanilla, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and flax eggs. Mix well.
Step 4: Add the flour to the mixture and continue mixing until a thick cookie dough forms. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
Step 5: Using two tablespoons of dough, form balls and place them on the baking sheet, leaving about 1.5 inches between each. You may need two baking sheets or to bake in two batches.
Step 6: Bake for 8-9 minutes or until the cookies have slightly flattened and are crackled around the edges. Enjoy warm or cool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Cool Completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before storing to prevent condensation and maintain their texture.
Airtight Container: Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container. This helps prevent them from drying out and protects their flavor.
Layering: If you need to stack the cookies in the container, place a piece of parchment paper or wax paper between layers to prevent sticking.
Room Temperature: If you plan to consume the cookies within a few days, storing them at room temperature is fine. Make sure the storage area is cool and dry.
Refrigeration (Optional): If you want to extend the shelf life, especially in warmer climates, you can refrigerate the cookies. Again, use an airtight container to prevent them from absorbing any odors in the fridge.
Freezing (Optional): For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe container or resealable plastic bag. Thaw them at room temperature when ready to enjoy.
Avoid Moisture: Keep the storage container away from direct sunlight, and avoid storing them near items with strong odors, as cookies can absorb odors easily.

How To Make Inside Out Cookies
- Begin by preheating the oven to 350. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
