These truly are the World's Best Chocolate Cookies - chewy on the outside and soft on the inside. Yum!
Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Tbsp. vanilla
  • ¾ tsp. baking soda
  • ¾ tsp. salt
  • 2¾ cups flour
  • 1 package Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Cream the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar together well, at least 2 – 3 minutes, until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda and salt together.
  5. Add to the creamed butter mixture in three batches, mixing well after each addition, but don’t over-mix.
  6. Mix in the chocolate chips and nuts by hand.
  7. If you like thinner, crisper cookies, go ahead and drop golf-ball size balls of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. (I like to use a Silpat on my cookie sheet for these cookies.) If you like cookies that are softer, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking, and continue to refrigerate the dough in between batches.
  8. Bake at 350 for 9-11 minutes until very lightly browned.
  9. Remove from the oven and let sit on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing the cookies to a cooling rack.
  10. Enjoy!
