Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 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 optional chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a handheld mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, 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 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 just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips and optional nuts using a spatula.
Step 7
Scoop rounded tablespoons 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 but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy!
