Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using) with a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked, but they will set as they cool.

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 and enjoy these timeless cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite warm beverage!
