Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Mixer (stand or handheld)
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
- Cooling rack
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 Brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cups Nestle Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Chopped nuts optional
Instructions
Step 1: Prep and Preheat
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Always start with a preheated oven for the best results—this ensures a perfect golden brown finish.
Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Combining your dry ingredients beforehand helps avoid any uneven mixing later on.
Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugars
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Creaming the butter and sugars properly introduces air into the batter, giving those cookies their signature texture.
Step 4: Mix It All Together
- Gradually beat in the flour mixture.
- Stir in the Nestle Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips and nuts (if using).
- Don’t overmix the dough; it should just come together.
Step 5: Scoop and Bake
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.
- Here’s a tip: for evenly sized cookies, use a cookie scoop.
Step 6: Cooling
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes.
- Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Letting them cool on the sheets for a couple of minutes helps them set.
Notes
- For softer cookies, take them out of the oven when they’re just barely browned.
- If you prefer crispier cookies, let them bake a little longer.
