- Measuring cups and spoons
- Baking sheets
- Parchment paper
- Wire cooling rack
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups Nestle Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts if using.
- Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave space between cookies as they will spread. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
