Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
- 2
Mix dry ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- 3
Cream butter and sugars
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- 4
Add eggs and vanilla
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- 5
Combine wet and dry ingredients
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- 6
Fold in add-ins
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Baking
- 7
Scoop the dough
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- 8
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
- 9
Cool
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
