Ingredients
  

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon sea salt

1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

¾ cup granulated sugar

¾ cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

        Add Vanilla and Eggs: Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully combined.

          Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in Chocolate Chips and Nuts: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) using a spatula.

              Scoop the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Sprinkle Sea Salt: Lightly sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie dough ball for an irresistible sweet and salty flavor.

                  Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft.

                    Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

                      Serve and Enjoy: Serve the cookies warm with a glass of milk, or store them in an airtight container for up to a week!
