Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 410°F (210°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cold, cubed butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy and smooth.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Incorporate the Mix-Ins: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and walnuts (if using).
- Portion the Dough: Using an ice cream scoop or a large spoon, scoop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly underbaked for that gooey texture.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
