Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
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 medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the pure vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy your 'World's Best Cookies' with a glass of cold milk or your favorite beverage!
