1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
3
Cream butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until it's a fluffy mixture. Scrape sides of bowl with spatula.
4
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Tip: First, crack eggs into a cup or dish to ensure no bits of shell enter the butter/sugar mixture.
5
Add flour mixture gradually, beating until mixed.
6
Stir in chocolate chips.
7
Stir in nuts (optional).
8
Drop by rounded tablespoon onto a lightly greased cookie sheet.
9
Bake for 9-11 minutes or until light golden brown around the edges and on the bottom of cookies.
10
Cool on baking sheets for two minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
11
Repeat until all dough is baked into cookies. You can refrigerate the dough for baking later, bringing the dough to room temperature before baking.
12
Enjoy! (And probably share).

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.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
