Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Optional: Chopped walnuts or pecans
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 softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Step 3
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing.
Step 5
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) using a spatula.
Step 6
Scoop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Step 8
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Enjoy warm with a glass of milk or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
