Crispy on the edges and chewy in the centers.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/4 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 - 1/3 tsp salt (I use 1/4 tsp)
- 3/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 F for shiny pans and 350 F for dark pans.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, both sugars, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat well.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture. Beat well. Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in the middle of the oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Do not overbake.
Cool slightly. Remove from the cookie sheets and cool completely on a wire rack.
Tip: Store cookies in an airtight container and add a piece of soft white bread or a slice of apple to keep cookies soft. Change the bread or apple every day or two.
Cookies may also be frozen for longer storage.
