In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the bowl, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using).
Divide the dough in half and place each portion onto a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Shape the dough into a uniform log approximately 2 inches in diameter and roll tightly.
Refrigerate the dough logs for at least 2 hours or until firm. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Slice the chilled dough into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. For softer cookies, bake on the shorter end of the range.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
