Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (165g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1/2 cup (60g) chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • Optional: pinch of flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together bread flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently with a spatula until just combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts if using.
  7. Drop dough balls about 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets, pressing down slightly.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers still look soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

Chill dough for 30 minutes to control spread and deepen flavor. Use room temperature eggs and butter for better texture. Watch bake time closely to keep cookies chewy. Dough can be refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen up to 3 months.
