Recipe Description
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together, using the dough hook at medium speed (I've used regular mixer attachments with no problems). Add the eggs and vanilla.
Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together; mix into the batter. Stir in the chocolate chips (and walnuts, if desired). Dough should easily come together and form a ball.
Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces, approximately 1 pound each. Roll each piece into a rope 16 inches long and cut each rope into 16 equal pieces.
I like to line up a tape measure with my rope of dough and mark it at one-inch intervals, then slice.
Place the pieces, cut side up ( you do not need to roll the pieces round), on sheet pans lined with parchment paper. Stagger the cookies so they do not bake together. These cookies end up being 2 1/2 - 3 inches in diameter.
Bake the cookies until just done, about 10 minutes. The cookies should still be a bit sticky in the middle and just slightly brown at the edges. In my experience, if you let the tops get too brown, you're going to have a very crunchy cooky once they cool! If that's your jam, so be it, but consider yourself warned :)
I like to move the cookies to a cooling rack after a few minutes, to completely cool. Then, you can store them in an airtight container for a few days (if you have any left).
Enjoy your cookies!
