Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips (milk, dark, or a combination)
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts, if using).
7. Scoop and Space: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.
9. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Tips for Perfect Cookies:
- Chill the Dough: For thicker cookies, chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Quality Chocolate: Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Mix different types for a flavor explosion.
- Underbake Slightly: Cookies continue to set as they cool, so slightly underbaking keeps them soft and chewy.
