Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 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 unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts if using.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, 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 but the centers still look slightly undercooked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your incredible chocolate chip cookies with a glass of cold milk or your favorite warm beverage!
