How to Make The Fam's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease or line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped nuts (optional).
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto prepared cookie sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers are still slightly soft. Smaller cookies will bake faster.
Keep a close eye on cookies during baking. Adjust baking time as needed.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy! Serve warm with a cold glass of milk for the ultimate treat.
