Step 1

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

Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts or pecans if using.

Step 6

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Lightly flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon to help them spread evenly while baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and just starting to turn golden.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
