Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion the dough into small, evenly-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. Avoid overbaking for soft cookies.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze them for longer storage.
