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!
