Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips and, if using, the chopped nuts.

Step 7

Scoop heaping tablespoons of the 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 golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy your 'Nutty or Nice Chocolate Chip Cookies'!
