Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks), softened Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cups Optional: chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and smooth using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing 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 ingredients, mixing on low speed until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a spatula, fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets to allow room for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look slightly soft and underbaked—this is key for keeping them chewy.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm with a glass of milk or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
