Ingredients
  

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup chopped nuts (optional, for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

          Mix Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cookies chewy.

            Fold in Chocolate Chips and Nuts: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and optional nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

              Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to drop balls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

                Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft.

                  Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy these chewy chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
