Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
- ½ cup (100g) white granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until dough forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and optional nuts evenly throughout the dough.
- Scoop cookie dough (2 tablespoons per cookie) onto the baking trays, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers still soft.
- Cool on tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Enjoy warm, or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
- For a gooier center, slightly underbake and allow cookies to finish cooking on the tray.
- Add a pinch of flaky sea salt before baking for a gourmet touch.
- For a nut-free option, simply skip the walnuts or pecans.
- Want them extra soft? Chill the dough for 20 minutes before baking.
