Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and nuts (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still appear slightly soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy your Hearty Chocolate Chippers!
