Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F. While it warms up, grab some Reynolds® Parchment Paper and line your cookie sheets. This will make cleanup a breeze and keep your cookies from sticking!
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and if you're feeling adventurous, the ground cinnamon. Set this mixture aside for now; it’s going to add a lovely depth of flavor to your cookies.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Mix until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect cookie texture!
Step 4
Next, add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined. The aroma of vanilla will fill your kitchen, making it feel like a warm hug!
Step 5
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating until everything is just blended. Be careful not to overmix; we want those cookies to be tender and delicious!
Step 6
Now it’s time for the fun part! Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the coarsely chopped nuts. This is where you can really customize your cookies—feel free to add more chocolate or nuts if you like!
Step 7
Using a rounded tablespoon, drop dollops of dough onto your prepared cookie sheets, leaving some space between each one to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Pop the cookie sheets into the oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Keep an eye on them; you want that perfect golden color!
Step 9
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help them set and make them easier to handle.
