Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 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, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

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. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

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.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!
