Course: Dessert
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 18 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups softened (I use salted) butter (3 sticks)
  • 1 cup plus 2 T granulated sugar
  • 1 cup plus 2 T brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 T vanilla
  • 3 1/3 cups flour
  • 1/2 T baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 cups chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped nuts optional

Instructions

  • Prepare a 17x12 inch cookie sheet by spraying with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 375°F. 
  • Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until creamy and fluffy.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating in between, then add the vanilla, flour, salt, and baking soda, mixing well. The batter will feel wetter than a standard cookie dough. 
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts if using).
  • Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake for 17-18 minutes or until golden brown. These are easier to cut while warm.
