Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour 300g
- 1 cup of unsalted softened butter 225 g
- 1 cup of packed brown sugar 200 g
- 1/2 cup of white granulated sugar 100 g
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp. of vanilla extract 10ml
- 1/2 tsp. of salt 2 g
- 1 tsp. of baking soda 5 g
- 1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate about 2 cups or 350g
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (177 C). Cream together the softened butter with the white and brown sugars in a large bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Now add the vanilla extract and the eggs and mix until combined, then scrape the bowl again.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Then we add the flour about a third to a fourth of it at a time to the dough, mixing in between, and scraping the sides as needed.
- Next, add the chocolate chips and nuts if you want nuts. Add the remaining bit of flour and mix again until combined. The dough is dough. Clean the beaters. No need to chill the dough, but you can at this point.
- Take two spoons or ice cream scoop, and get about 2 tablespoons worth of dough, depending on the size of the cookie that you want, and then place on your cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Bake for 10 to 16 minutes depending on the size of the cookie, start with 10 minutes and go from there. You will bake them until you see the edges getting brown.
- Let the cookies sit on your cookie sheet for about 3 more minutes, then transfer to a cookie rack to cool completely. Serve them warm, or cool if you like. Enjoy!
