Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Stand mixer or hand mixer
- Baking sheets
- Parchment paper or silicone mats
- Cookie scoop
Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using).
- Optionally, chill the dough for 30 minutes.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough onto baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
The cookies stay soft for 4-5 days if stored in an airtight container.
You can freeze the dough for up to 3 months.
For an extra twist, try adding dried cherries or substituting half the butter with peanut butter.
