Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Oven & Baking Sheet
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Make the Dough
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
