Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly combined.
Step 4
In a separate medium 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. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender cookies.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using) using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they're evenly distributed in the dough.
Step 7
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop 1.5-tablespoon-sized balls 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 slightly golden, but the centers still look soft.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!
