Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pcs large eggs
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup optional chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line 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 together until creamy and well combined.
Step 3
Add in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked, which will ensure a soft texture.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to a week!
