🍪 Ingredients

  • 🧈 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 🍬 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 🍬 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 🥚 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 🍦 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 🥣 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 🧂 1 tsp baking soda
  • 🧂 1/2 tsp salt
  • 🍫 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 🥜 Optional: 1 cup chopped walnuts

📝 Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  1. Cream the Butter and Sugars:
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  1. Combine Ingredients:
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using).
  1. Form the Cookies:
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • For a true NYC style, keep the dough balls thick and avoid flattening them too much.
  1. Bake:
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers appear slightly underdone.
  • Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
  1. Cool & Enjoy:
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature with a glass of milk!

  • Underbake Slightly: For a chewier center, bake until the edges are set and the middle looks a bit soft.
  • Chill the Dough: For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping.
  • Storage: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat slightly in the oven for a freshly baked texture.
