Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 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
- 1 cup optional chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated, then 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 just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips and optional nuts, if using.
Step 7
Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded spoonfuls 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. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will set as the cookies cool.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 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 5 days.
