Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup brown sugar, packed
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 2 large eggs
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– ½ teaspoon salt
– 2 cups chocolate chips
– 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done with an electric mixer or by hand using a wooden spoon.

Step 3: Add Vanilla Extract and Eggs

Add the vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, stirring until just combined.

Step 5: Add Chocolate Chips and Walnuts

Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using). Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

Step 6: Shape the Cookies

Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.

Step 7: Bake the Cookies

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may still appear slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.

Step 8: Cool and Enjoy

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, enjoy these delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk!
