Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
3. Add the Chocolate Chips:
- Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
4. Scoop and Shape:
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
5. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers look slightly underbaked.
- 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.
6. Enjoy:
- Serve warm for gooey chocolate or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Pro Tips:
- Chill the dough: For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Customize: Use a mix of semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate chips for extra flavor.
- Enhance flavor: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking for a sweet-salty twist.
