Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, 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. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
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 and the centers look set but still soft.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring 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 one week.
