Who doesn't love these classic guilty pleasures?! Just when I'm feeling great about not eating any sugar, David taunts me with his incredibly delicious chocolate chip, little bits of heaven. Not only are they my weakness, they make the house smell tremendous. A little scoop of vanilla ice cream works quite beautifully between two of the right sized cookies and there you have an ice cream sandwich. Diet? What diet! 8-}
½ pound butter, softened (2 sticks)
¾ cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 2/3 cups Nestle Tollhouse semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 3/4 cups chopped walnuts, (optional)
Cream butter, sugar and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
Add eggs and vanilla, blending with mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until light and fluffy, scraping down bowl.
With mixer on low speed, add flour, baking soda, sea salt and cinnamon, blending for about 45 seconds. Don’t overmix.
Remove bowl from mixer and stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
Portion dough with a scoop (about 3 tablespoons) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper about 2 inches apart.
Preheat oven to 300°F. Bake for 20 to 23 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and center is still soft.
Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet for about 1 hour.
