Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (191Β°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them to prevent sticking.
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is creamy and well-combined.
Add the eggs to the wet mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture, beating on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate morsels and chopped nuts (if using) by hand using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Drop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
