Ingredients
  

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Flaky sea salt (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

      In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

        Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.

          Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

            Fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts, if using) with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

              Using a cookie scoop or a large spoon, drop generous balls of dough (about 2-3 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving ample space (about 2-3 inches) between each cookie.

                If desired, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie dough ball before baking.

                  Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft. They will continue to firm up as they cool.

                    Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

                      Enjoy your ultra-thick, chewy, and delicious bakery-style chocolate chip cookies!
