Method
Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 1
Prepare oven and pans
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Position racks in the center and upper-middle of the oven.

Cream butter and sugars
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.

Fold in chips and nuts
Using a spatula, fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts until evenly distributed through the dough.

Portion cookies
Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop (or two tablespoons), portion dough into rounded balls and place on the prepared baking sheets 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. For uniform cookies, gently roll and slightly flatten each ball.

Bake
Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly soft. Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even color.

Cool
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies rest on the sheet for 5 minutes to finish setting, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Glaze (optional) & Finishing
- 10
Make quick chocolate glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Add the milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, stirring until you reach a smooth, pourable glaze (should be thick but drizzleable). If too thick, add another tiny splash of milk; if too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar.
- 11
Glaze and finish
Drizzle the glaze over cooled cookies with a spoon or fork. While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle a light pinch of coarse sea salt on each cookie to balance sweetness. Let the glaze set for 15–20 minutes before stacking or serving.
