Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the cookies bake evenly.

  2. 2

    Prepare Baking Sheet

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents the cookies from sticking.

Mixing Ingredients

  1. 3

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  2. 4

    Cream Butter and Sugars

    In another bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

  3. 5

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and continue to beat until fully integrated.

  4. 6

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 7

    Fold in Mix-ins

    Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) into the cookie dough.

Baking

  1. 8

    Scoop the Dough

    Using a cookie scoop or tablespoons, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  2. 9

    Bake Cookies

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked.

  3. 10

    Cool Cookies

    Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
