Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • cups cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped nuts
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup softened salted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). In a medium-sized bowl, mix the brown sugar, flour, nuts, sugar, salt, and baking soda together until evenly distributed.
  • Cream the butter in another bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, making sure they are fully incorporated.
  • Add the vanilla and mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, mixing after each addition until just blended.
  • Gently fold in chocolate chips with a spoon or rubber spatula. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving about 1 inch between cookies.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and the center is still soft. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • When measuring the flour, be sure not to pack it down in the measuring cup, as this will make your cookies dense.
  • When dropping the dough on the baking sheet, use a teaspoon instead of heaping spoonfuls for more uniform and consistent sizing.
  • Add a few extra chocolate chips to the tops of the cookies before baking for an extra decadent treat.
