Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) light brown sugar, packed lightly
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (270g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars (brown and granulated) in a large bowl for about 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding with a spatula until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts if using.
  7. Scoop dough balls about 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets, rolling lightly between hands for uniformity.
  8. Bake one sheet at a time for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

For best chewiness, slightly underbake the cookies so centers remain soft. Use room temperature eggs and cream butter and sugars well. Chill dough 20-30 minutes if too soft. Rotate baking sheet halfway through baking for even browning. Dough can be frozen and baked from frozen with extra baking time.
