- 1 parchment paper
- 1 cookie scoop or tablespoon
- 1 cooling rack
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer or whisk.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, but the center remains chewy.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
- For a twist, consider adding oatmeal or substituting some of the chocolate chips with dried fruit.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week for the best freshness.
- These cookies can also be frozen for later enjoyment. Just place in an airtight container and layer with parchment paper.
