Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup optional chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until 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 flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts, if using.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your spiced chocolate chip cookies with a warm beverage or on their own!
