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 semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line 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 an electric mixer for best results.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully 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 just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto 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 golden brown, but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy with a glass of cold milk, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
