How to Make Traditional Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Adjust oven racks to upper- and lower-middle positions and preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- If using, roughly chop 1/2 cup cocoa nibs. (Enlist a little helper for this fun task!)
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon water until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- 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 cocoa nibs (if using) until evenly distributed.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, rotating baking sheets halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft. Do not overbake!
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
