Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Pure 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 Chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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.

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 flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender cookie.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips and, if desired, the chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough balls 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 brown but the centers are still slightly soft.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
