Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 0.75 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°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 the mixture is light and fluffy (around 2-3 minutes).
Add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
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.
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks and chopped walnuts (if using).
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm for a gooey treat or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
