Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2️⃣ Mix dry ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Set aside.

3️⃣ Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.

4️⃣ Add the eggs: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

5️⃣ Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

6️⃣ Stir in chocolate chips and nuts: Fold in the chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts.

7️⃣ Form the cookies: Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8️⃣ Bake: Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, and the centers are still soft.

9️⃣ Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
