Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips and optional nuts.
Scoop the dough into large balls (about 3 tablespoons each) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
For thicker cookies, chill the dough balls in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes before baking.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft and slightly underbaked.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and creates a thicker, chewier texture.Use high-quality chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars for the best flavor and melt.For extra indulgence, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking.To make smaller cookies, reduce scoop size and bake for 8–9 minutes.Cookies continue baking on the sheet after removal—don’t overbake!
