Mom's Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie (with Nuts)

Author Mary

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 c. All purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt
  • 1 c. Butter Melted for ~30 seconds in the microwave
  • 1 c. Brown sugar
  • 1/2 c. Granulated sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
  • 1 c. Chocolate chips
  • 1/2 c. Chopped Walnuts Or Pecans

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, and salt). Sift dry ingredients together, or fluff with a fork until completely combined. 

  2. Preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup. 

  3. In a stand mixer, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. 

  4. Add eggs, to the mixture, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add vanilla extract and mix well. 

  5. Carefully add dry ingredients from step 1, and mix to combine. 

  6. Add chocolate chips and chopped nuts to the cookie dough, and hand mix to incorporate. 

  7. Drop 1/4 c. spoonfuls of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets. (These make pretty big cookies!) Bake at 350F for 12-14 minutes, or until golden (and slightly soft in the centers). 

  8. Let cookies cool, and enjoy!
