Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks), softened unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup, packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup optional chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still appear slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to rest on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!
