How to Make Nana's Chocolate Chip Cookies Classic Toll House Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly butter two baking sheets.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped nuts (optional) by hand.
  8. Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  10. Cool the cookies slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
