Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup optional: chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes using an electric mixer).
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the mixture, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
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 until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips and, if desired, the chopped nuts.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly underbaked; they'll set as they cool.
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 with a glass of milk, or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
