Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups Clover Valley semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional for added crunch)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C)—line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars:Â In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is soft and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla:Â Beat the eggs individually, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and continue mixing until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:Â In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in denser cookies.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips (and Nuts, if using): Gently fold in the Clover Valley chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough. If you’re a fan of nuts in your cookies, add the chopped nuts at this stage as well.
- Scoop and Drop Cookies:Â Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake to Perfection:Â Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them, as baking times may vary depending on your range and the size of your cookies.
- Cool and Enjoy:Â Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Grab a glass of milk and enjoy these delicious Clover Valley Chocolate Chip Cookies!
