Method
Preparation
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This allows for even baking of the cookies.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Mixing
Cream Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Add-ins and Baking
Fold in Chocolate Chips and Nuts
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop and Bake
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
