Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the cookies remain tender.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, 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 lightly golden and the centers still appear slightly underbaked. This ensures a soft and chewy texture.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm for a gooey treat or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
