Ingredients

2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup (226g)
3/4 cup (150g)
3/4 cup (160g)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups (340g)
1/2 cup (75g)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
3
Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
5
Fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts, if using) with a spatula.

Step 2: Chill the Dough

6
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

7
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
8
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

9
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
10
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
