Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Optional: Chopped nuts (e.g., 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 large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for best results.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing slowly until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked. They will continue to set as they cool.
Remove the 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.
Enjoy your very yummy chocolate chip cookies with a glass of cold milk or your favorite beverage!
