- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1¾ cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup walnuts or pecans, optional

- Using a cookie scoop, drop dough onto cookie sheets. Each sheet should hold 12 cookies.
- Place cookie sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Add remaining dough onto a second cookie sheet*
- Place chilled cookies in oven and bake for 11 minutes. They will be a light brown color.
- Remove from oven, and set on rack to cool for about 2-4 minutes.
- Using a spatula, remove cookies from cookie sheet and place directly on cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for easier blending, fluffier dough and a softer texture.
- Chill the cookie dough before baking to help reduce spreading and produce a thicker, more chewy cookie.
- Do not overbake cookies for a chewy center! They will look slightly underdone, but will firm up upon cooling.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for a couple minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
