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
- 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup optional chopped nuts (like 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 medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing at this stage.
Fold in the chocolate chips and optional nuts with a spatula or wooden spoon, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Yummy Chocolate Lennie Chip Cookies with a glass of milk, or pack them into an airtight container for later!
