Ingredients

250 grams (1 cup) unsalted butter at the room temperature

150 grams (1 cup) white sugar

150 grams (1 cup) brown sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

300 grams (2 cups and a half) flour

½ teaspoon salt

300 grams (2 cups) semisweet chocolate chips

100 grams chopped walnuts or pecans (if desired)

Directions

Preheat the oven at 190 degrees C (375 degrees F).

Mix the white sugar and the brown one  with the butter and the eggs by hand. Don`t forget to add the vanilla extract.

Then stir in the flour mixed with the baking soda and the salt. Mix well until you get a stiff dough.

If the dough seems too stiff to you, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of cold milk. If you think the composition is too soft, put it in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Add the chocolate chips and the chopped walnuts and then mix the whole dough to make sure that you will have enough chocolate and nuts in each cookie.

Make 2-3 inches round cookies and put them on a baking sheet.

Put them in the oven for 10 minutes until they become brownish.

Additional tips on baking chocolate chip cookies

The cookies  need to be far apart one of each other  when you put them in the oven for baking because the dough they are made from spreads and if you don`t leave enough distance between them you will have to cut them apart after baking and you will damage their round or oval shape.

After 10 minutes you can turn off the oven but still let them inside for 3-4 minutes to be crispier.

Remove the cookies from the baking sheet when they are still hot and let them cool for 15-20 minutes.

If you don`t want to form little round cookies you can make like a whole cake from all the dough resulted, so you will obtain a chocolate chip bar cookie.

The secret of chocolate chip cookies is to serve them when they are fresh baked .These chocolate chips cookies are definitely children`s favorite.
