Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Mix-Ins:
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Combine and Bake: Gradually mix in the flour mixture until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts if using. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- For softer cookies, remove them from the oven when the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
- You can substitute the walnuts with pecans or omit them entirely.
