Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add salt and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  6. Gradually add the flour mixture, beating until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) with a spatula.
  8. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
  10. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy these cookies warm, with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage. They’re perfect for sharing—but be warned, you might just want to keep them all to yourself!
