Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 2 Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups King Arthur all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Optional: chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
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, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and well-combined, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the King Arthur all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips and, if using, the chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still appear slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
