Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Optional: Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
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 dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies with a glass of cold milk or your favorite beverage!
