Ingredients
3 sticks unsalted butter, softened (1 1/2 cups)
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Walnut pieces (optional, to taste)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet mixture until just combined.
Fold in mix-ins: Stir in chocolate chips and optional walnuts.
Scoop and bake: Use a cookie scoop to portion dough onto the baking sheet. Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are golden brown.
Cool: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chill the dough for 30 minutes to prevent spreading and enhance flavor.
Use room-temperature butter for the best texture.
Customize: Try dark chocolate chips, white chocolate, or add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top.
Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for later.
