Ingredients: 1 1/3 cups butter, softened; 1 cup sugar; 1 cup brown sugar, tightly packed; 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 3 eggs; 2 cups white flour; 2 cups whole wheat flour; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 cup walnuts (or whatever nuts you prefer) or 1 cup pecans, chopped (or whatever nuts you prefer); 3 (6 ounce) packages chocolate chips, assorted varieties (I usually use 1 pkg. milk chocolate, 1 pkg. semi sweet, and 1 pkg. bittersweet or dark)

Servings: persons

1 1/3 cups butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar, tightly packed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 eggs
2 cups white flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup walnuts (or whatever nuts you prefer) or 1 cup pecans, chopped (or whatever nuts you prefer)
3 (6 ounce) packages chocolate chips, assorted varieties (I usually use 1 pkg. milk chocolate, 1 pkg. semi sweet, and 1 pkg. bittersweet or dark)

1
Cream butter and sugars in stand mixer till well blended and fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract and eggs.
2
Sift together flours, soda, and salt.
3
Slowly add dry mixture to creamed mixture, stirring well between each addition.
4
When all dry ingredients have been incorporated, gently fold in nuts and chocolate chips.
5
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (will actually keep about a week in the fridge if you need it to).
6
To bake, preheat oven to 350u00b0F.
7
Drop cookies by tablespoonfuls onto parchment lined cookie sheets.
8
Bake for 7-8 minutes, till the cookies are *just* starting to brown at the edges. They will look a tad under-baked, but that's what makes them so soft!
9
Cool slightly before removing to wire racks.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
