Ingredients
  

1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar

3/4 cup (165g) packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup (100g) chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy.

      Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.

        Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and sea salt.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) until distributed evenly throughout the cookie dough.

              Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.

                Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are softly set. Remember, the cookies will continue to cook on the baking sheet after removing from the oven.

                  Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

                    Enjoy: Serve warm with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
