Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
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 softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix 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. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed in the dough.
Step 7
Using a large cookie scoop or 1/4 cup measuring tool, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 3 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake one sheet at a time on the center rack for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still appear slightly underbaked.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your delicious, oversized cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
