Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until creamy and well-combined, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and, if using, the chopped nuts.

Step 7

Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer, about 1/2-inch thick. The edges can be slightly rustic.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cookie is golden brown around the edges and slightly soft in the center.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookie to cool completely on the pan. It will firm up as it cools.

Step 10

Once cooled, use your hands to break the cookie into irregular pieces of your desired size. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
