Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°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 smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Step 4
Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 7
Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using) using a spatula or spoon.
Step 8
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Enjoy Grandma's cookies with a glass of milk, or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
