Ingredients
2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
-
Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts, if using) with a spatula.
Step 2: Chill the Dough
-
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps prevent excessive spreading and enhances flavor.
Step 3: Preheat and Scoop
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
-
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out dough balls (about 1.5 tablespoons each) and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
-
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
-
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
