Ingredients You'll Need

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda; set aside. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in salt, vanilla, and eggs until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts (if using).

Drop heaping tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cookies cool for 2 minutes on baking sheet. Transfer cookies to a wire rack, and let cool completely.

Tips for Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies

• Chill the dough: For a thicker, chewier cookie, refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour before baking.
• Mix-ins: Customize your cookies by adding mix-ins like dried fruits, toffee bits, or even a sprinkle of sea salt.
• Bake in batches: To ensure even baking, don't overcrowd your baking sheets. Bake cookies in batches if necessary.
