Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 Large eggs
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is smooth.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing at low speed until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using) with a spatula or wooden spoon 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 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear slightly underbaked. Do not overbake.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! These cookies are best enjoyed within a few days but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
