Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract and egg, beating 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 until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and, if using, the chopped nuts.
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, drop small dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on them for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the Chocolate Chip Crispers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
