Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

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 on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts, if using, using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and shape them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked, but they will set as they cool.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the 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 at room temperature for up to a week.
