Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 410Β°F (210Β°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars:
    In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup cold cubed unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup light brown sugar until well combined.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla:
    Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips and Walnuts:
    Gently fold in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped walnuts (if using).
  7. Scoop the Dough:
    Using an ice cream scoop, scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
  8. Bake:
    Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.
  9. Cool:
    Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve:
    Enjoy these delicious, thick, and chewy cookies!
