Описание: Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
(Adapted from traditional home-baked cookie recipes.)

Ingredients:
One cup (two hundred twenty-six grams) of unsalted butter, softened

One cup (two hundred grams) of white granulated sugar

One cup (two hundred twenty grams) of packed brown sugar

Two large eggs

Two teaspoons (ten millilitres) of pure vanilla extract

Three cups (three hundred sixty grams) of all-purpose flour

One teaspoon (five grams) of baking soda

One-half teaspoon (two and a half grams) of baking powder

One teaspoon (five grams) of salt

Two cups (three hundred forty grams) of semi-sweet chocolate chips

(Optional) One cup (one hundred grams) of chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit (one hundred seventy-five degrees Celsius). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about two to three minutes using a hand mixer or a stand mixer.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir just until everything is combined—do not overmix.

Fold in the chocolate chips and, if using, the chopped nuts.

Drop rounded spoonful's of cookie dough (about one and a half tablespoons or twenty grams each) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches (five centimetres) apart.

Bake in the preheated oven for ten to twelve minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centres are still soft.

Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for about five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
