Description
Perfectly balanced cookies with crisp edges and soft, chewy centers loaded with melty chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk dry ingredients. Cream butter and sugars until fluffy (3-4 min).
- Add eggs and vanilla. Gradually mix in flour mixture, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons onto lined baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers look slightly underdone.
- Cool 5 minutes on sheets, then transfer to wire rack.
Notes
For extra chewiness, refrigerate dough for 30 minutes before baking. Cookies will stay fresh in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
