Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup optional: chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts, if using) using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Step 6
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
Step 8
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 9
Serve warm with a glass of milk or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
