📝 INGREDIENTS
Dry Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Add-ins:
2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
Optional: 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
👩🍳 INSTRUCTIONS
1️⃣ Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3️⃣ Cream Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and light.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
Stir in vanilla extract.
4️⃣ Combine Ingredients
Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips and optional nuts.
5️⃣ Scoop and Bake
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between cookies.
Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until edges are golden but centers are still soft.
Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
🧪 METHODS (WHY THIS WORKS)
Creaming butter and sugar → creates a light, chewy texture
Using brown sugar → adds moisture and rich flavor
Baking at medium-high heat → ensures crispy edges and soft centers
Allowing cookies to cool slightly before transferring → prevents breakage and keeps shape intact
📜 HISTORY
Cookies like these trace back to European settlers, who brought small sweet cakes to the Americas.
Chocolate chip cookies were first created in the 1930s, quickly becoming a beloved classic.
This recipe combines traditional methods with a modern twist of chocolate and nuts, keeping Nana’s nostalgic flavors alive.
🏗️ FORMATION (THE STRUCTURE OF DELIGHT)
Buttery dough → rich, soft foundation
Brown and white sugar blend → chewy texture and sweetness
Chocolate chips → melty, gooey pockets of chocolate
Optional nuts → added crunch and flavor contrast
Every cookie balances sweetness, texture, and flavor, making them addictive and heartwarming.
