Ingredients
Method
- Preheat. Heat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry ingredients. Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl.
- Cream. Beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the eggs. Beat them in one at a time.
- Combine. Gradually beat in the flour mixture just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and the nuts, if using.
- Bake. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough 5 cm apart. Bake 9–11 minutes, until golden brown at the edges. Cool 2 minutes on the sheet, then move to a rack.
Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Dough balls freeze for 3 months; bake from frozen and add 1–2 minutes. Calories are per cookie, without nuts.
