Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture, beating well until fully combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until everything is incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and the optional chopped walnuts or pecans if using.
Step 7
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly soft. Do not overbake for a chewier cookie.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
