The classic toll house chocolate chip cookies are a staple in every house hold. With crispy edges and lots of chocolate chips... these cookies will never disappoint.
2cupsNestle Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips(12 oz package)
1cupchopped nutsif omitting add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour in place of the nuts
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda, salt.
In a large mixing bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar on medium speed for 1-2 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add the flour mixture and mix until partially combined. Add the chocolate chips (and nuts-if using. If you’re not adding nuts, add an additional 2 T of flour to the dough) and mix to combine.
Using a 2 T sized cookie scoop (I used a size 50 scoop), portion into rounded balls on a parchment lined baking sheet (or ungreased baking sheet). Make sure to space the cookies out with 2-2 1/2" between each cookie dough ball (the cookies will spread some).
Bake for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
If using a bigger scoop such as a #40, bake for 11 minutes. These cookies will spread, so keep them spaced on the baking sheet. I like to keep the dough slightly chilled to prevent overspreading. So once the dough is made, I'll pop the cookie dough into the fridge for 10 minutes. Scoop a baking sheet worth of cookie dough balls (12), then place the dough back in the fridge while the first pan is baking. And repeat. This recipe is the exact recipe from the Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookie bag.
