Toll House Cookies

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, with a hand mixer on medium speed, combine butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla. Beat until creamy, about 2 minutes.
4. Add eggs in one at a time and beat after each addition. Once incorporated, add in the flour mixture a bit at a time until combined.
5. Stir in the chocolate chips, and chopped nuts if using, with a spoon and chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes. Drop by large tablespoons onto an ungreased baking sheet.
6. Bake 9-11 minutes or until lightly browned on the edges, do not over bake.
7. Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet 2-3 minutes and then remove and cool on a wire rack.
