These are the best chocolate chip cookies you’ll ever taste! They are perfectly soft and chewy on the inside with a golden, slightly crispy exterior. Packed with rich chocolate chips and optional crunchy walnuts, these cookies are a classic favorite for any occasion.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Add mix-ins: Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts if using.
  7. Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
  8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them and let them finish setting on the baking sheet.
  • You can also refrigerate the dough for 24 hours to enhance flavor and texture.
