Directions

Step 1

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

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.

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

Step 6

Fold in the chopped nuts and mini chocolate chips (if using) with a spatula.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Flatten each dough ball slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon to create a disc shape.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges.

Step 10

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
