Scale

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract together until creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts, if using.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

- For chewier cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Try substituting half of the chocolate chips with white chocolate chips or butterscotch chips for a different flavor twist.
