Ingredients
– 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup light brown sugar
– 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)
Directions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the Butters and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cold cubed butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until creamy and well combined.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in Chocolate Chips and Nuts: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy these delicious cookies warm or at room temperature!
