Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer or by hand.
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 add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped nuts using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Split the dough in half and shape each portion into a log about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours, or until firm. For longer storage, freeze the logs for up to 3 months.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the dough log into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
