Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined—avoid over-mixing.

- Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto prepared baking sheets about two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
