Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- Optional: Chopped Nuts, Butterscotch Chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix this into the butter mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips (and any nuts if using).
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers look soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
For a softer and chewier cookie, you can leave them slightly underbaked. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can enhance flavor and prevent spreading.
