1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

6. Add Chocolate Chips and Nuts:

• Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

7. Drop Cookies onto Baking Sheets:

• Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie.

8. Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.

9. Cool:

• Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

10. Enjoy:

• Once cooled, enjoy your homemade chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
