Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (160 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (340 g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1/2 cup (60 g) chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

. Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugars:

  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

4. Add Wet Ingredients:

  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

  • Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

6. Add Chocolate Chips:

  • Fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts, if using) with a spatula.

7. Scoop the Dough:

  • Drop spoonfuls of dough (about 1 1/2 tablespoons per cookie) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.

8. Bake:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underdone.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For Soft Cookies: Don’t overbake. Remove them from the oven while the centers are still soft and slightly undercooked. They’ll firm up as they cool.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter is softened for easier mixing and a smoother dough.
  • Chill the Dough (Optional): For thicker cookies, refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
