Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup Optional: Chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually, mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, a little at a time, until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft.
Remove 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.
Serve and enjoy! These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
