2cupsof Nestlé Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips
1cupof chopped nutsoptional
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients well and set them aside. This step ensures that the baking soda and salt are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This process ensures that the ingredients are fully incorporated, creating a homogeneous base for your cookie dough.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Continue mixing until no visible traces of flour remain in the dough.
Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using). Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix, making sure the chocolate pieces and nuts are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
