Title: Women’s Day Cookie
Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup brown sugar, packed
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may appear slightly underbaked, but they will continue to set as they cool.
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Repeat the scooping and baking process with the remaining cookie dough until it is all used up.
10. Once the cookies have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
