Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup 2 sticks butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups 12-oz. pkg. Nestle Toll House semi-sweet chocolate morsels
- 1 cup chopped nuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix dry ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.
- Add eggs: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
- Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until everything is combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips and nuts (optional): Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate morsels and chopped nuts.
- Drop the dough: Using a tablespoon, drop rounded scoops of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Cool: After baking, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store: Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to a week.
Notes
Room temperature ingredients: For the best results, make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature. This helps create a smoother, more consistent dough.
Chill the dough: If you prefer thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. This prevents the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
Customize the add-ins: While the classic recipe calls for chocolate chips and nuts, you can swap these out or add extras like white chocolate chips, dried fruit, or coconut flakes.
Watch the baking time: Keep an eye on the cookies as they bake. Every oven is slightly different, so they might be done a bit earlier or later than the recommended time. You’re looking for golden edges with slightly soft centers.
Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. If you want them to stay extra chewy, add a slice of bread to the container to help retain moisture.
