Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Optional chopped nuts (like 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, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is fluffy and pale, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
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.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and, if using, the chopped nuts, until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounds 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 golden brown but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies warm for a melty chocolate experience, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
