Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients 2¼ cups Gold Medal all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt 1 cup butter, softened ¾ cup granulated sugar ¾ cup packed brown sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips 1 cup coarsely chopped nuts (optional) Instructions Heat oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer (or spoon) for about 1 minute, until fluffy. Scrape bowl occasionally. Add egg and vanilla; beat until smooth. Stir in flour mixture just until blended (dough will be stiff). Fold in chocolate chips and nuts (if using). Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake 8–10 minutes, or until light brown (centers will be soft). Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container.
