Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 0.5 cup optional chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly underdone but will set as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm with a glass of milk or store in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy!
