How to Make Ghirardelli's Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended) and 2 cups Ghirardelli chocolate chips. Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips!
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Start checking at 9 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
