Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped nuts
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl to ensure even incorporation.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to create a uniform dry mixture.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
Tips
- Make sure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this ensures the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough after adding flour, as this can make cookies tough and dense.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- For extra indulgence, try using a mix of chocolate chips like semi-sweet and milk chocolate.
- Let cookies cool completely before storing to maintain their crisp edges and soft center.
- If you want a more nutty flavor, try toasting the chopped nuts before adding them to the dough.
- For a festive touch, you can drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookies or sprinkle sea salt on top.
- These cookies freeze beautifully - make a double batch and save some for later!
