Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup 2 sticks butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups 12-ounce package Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts optional (such as pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, blend the flour, baking soda, and salt using a spoon or whisk.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract with a mixer until creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add Eggs: Crack in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to keep the batter smooth.
- Incorporate Flour Mixture: Gradually beat in the flour mixture on low speed until just combined—don’t overmix.
- Add Chocolate and Nuts: Fold in the Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chips and optional nuts with a spatula until evenly distributed.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop dough by rounded tablespoon and drop onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until edges are golden brown; centers may look slightly soft.
- Cool: Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
Useful Tips or Variations
- Tip: Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and enhance flavor.
- Tip: Spoon flour into the measuring cup and level it off to avoid dry cookies.
- Variation: Skip the nuts for a nut-free version, or add 1/2 cup rolled oats for extra texture.
- Variation: For gluten-free, swap all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend (check for xanthan gum).
- Variation: Spread dough in a greased 9x13-inch pan and bake at 375°F for 20–25 minutes for cookie bars.
