Ingredients:
1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated white sugar
3/4 cup (160 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups (295 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups (270 grams) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
1 cup (100 grams) pecans or walnuts, coarsely chopped (optional)
Procedure:
- Preheat
oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) with rack in center of oven. Line
two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a
hand mixer), beat the butter until smooth and creamy. Add the white and brown
sugars and beat until fluffy (about 2 minutes). Beat in eggs, one at a time,
making sure to beat well after each addition. Add the vanilla and beat until
incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking
soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and beat until
incorporated, adding the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) about half way
through mixing. If you find the dough very soft, cover and refrigerate
until firm (from 30 minutes to two hours).
- For large cookies, use about a 2 tablespoon
ice cream scoop or with two spoons, drop about 2 tablespoons of dough (35
grams) onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake about 10 - 14 minutes, or until
golden brown around the edges. Cool completely on wire rack.
