Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 tablespoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional) e.g. walnuts or pecans

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the flour and baking soda. Mix well and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the room-temperature butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat until well combined.
  5. Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and nuts (if using).
  7. Drop balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.
  2. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
  1. Enjoy your cookies warm with vanilla ice cream, as a snack with milk, or neatly packaged as gifts.

Notes

Storage tips: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Freeze for longer storage. To reheat, microwave for a few seconds.
