- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or lightly greasing them.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Step 3
Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.
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 just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips and chopped nuts (if using) to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy your ultimate chocolate chip cookies!
