Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
Mixing
  1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using.
Baking
  1. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  3. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them. For a richer flavor, use a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips.
