How to Make Great Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter for about 1 minute until light and fluffy.
  3. Add ¾ cup packed light brown sugar and ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  4. Beat until the mixture is thick and pale, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped nuts (optional).
  9. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft. Start checking at 10 minutes.
  11. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  12. Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
