Equipment
  • mixing bowl
  • mixer
  • Spoon or scoop
Ingredients
  
  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup softened salted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 package Trader Joe’s semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chocolate chunks)
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
 
  • In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, and set aside.
  • Beat the sugar and butter together using a hand mixer on a medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Make sure there is no noticeable roughness to the texture. Add eggs and vanilla extract and continue beating at medium-high speed, until it’s well blended. Scrape the mixture from the edges when required.
  • Add half of the dry ingredients and mix at low speed until well mixed. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips (and optional nuts), cover, and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F and prepare 3 cookie sheets using silicone baking mats or parchment. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop the cookie dough in rounded tablespoons on the baking sheet. Note to drop them 1.5 inches from one another, so they don’t clump together. Pro tip: a quarter-sized clump is all you need.
  • Bake the chocolate chip cookies on the middle rack to avoid overbaking for about 7-9 minutes. Remove them from the oven and transfer them to a cooling wire rack. Once cooked they should slide over without breaking.
