Ingredients
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Optional: Chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture. Beat until well incorporated after each addition.
Step 5
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in small batches, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix to avoid tough cookies.
Step 6
Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips (and optional chopped nuts) using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly underbaked. This helps to keep them soft and chewy.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Enjoy your homemade cookies!
