Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup whole milk
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup optional: chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the vanilla extract and milk until thoroughly combined.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if using, with a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 8

Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, drop 2-tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just golden and the centers appear slightly underbaked. Be careful not to overbake to maintain cakie softness.

Step 10

Allow the Cakies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
