How to Make 5 Star Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon baking soda in 2 tablespoons hot water. Let it fizz for a minute.
- Add the baking soda mixture to the wet ingredients.
- Add 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped nuts (optional).
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
