Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy 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 all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. Avoid overbaking for a chewier texture.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!
