Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Cream Butter and Sugars
In another bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Add Mix-ins
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
Baking
Scoop the Dough
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
