Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup + 4 teaspoons (6 oz.) dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped and toasted (optional)
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat butter on medium speed using an electric mixer until it comes together in one cohesive mass, about 1 minute. Add in both sugars to the butter and beat for another 1 – 2 minutes. Gradually add eggs and vanilla and continue beating on medium speed until just combined, scraping the sides of bowl (the batter will appear lumpy).
- Reduce the speed to medium-low and gradually add the flour mixture. Stir in chocolate morsels and nuts.
- Divide dough into 12 equal parts roughly shaped into a ball (it should not be smooth). Space mounds 2 to 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake for 18 to 24 minutes, or until light golden brown on top. Let cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before removing onto a wire rack for further cooling. ENJOY!
