These were so easy to make and sooooo good. I think I ate about 5 cookies' worth of dough...oops. They were pretty dangerous to have in the house this weekend, when we already had Easter candy and chocolate and other treats, but I was itching to bake something new and these cookies definitely hit the spot! One of my new favorites. :)
Chocolate Chip Cookies
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt or 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts or pecans, toasted and chopped
Adjust the oven rack to the top third of the oven and preheat to 300F. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper.
Beat the sugars and butters together until smooth. Mix in the egg, vanilla, and baking soda.
Stir together the flour and salt, then mix them into the batter. Mix in the chocolate chips and nuts.
Scoop the cookie dough into 2-tablespoon balls and place 8 balls, spaced 4 inches apart, on each of the baking sheets.
Bake for 18 minutes, or until pale golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Recipe from Smitten Kitchen (yum!).
