Ingredients

• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup (110g) packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
• 3/4 cup (130g) chocolate chips
• Optional: 1/2 cup (50g) nuts, chopped (walnuts, pecans, etc.)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Vanilla and Milk: Mix in the vanilla extract and milk until well combined.
5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Add Chocolate Chips and Nuts: Fold in the chocolate chips and, if using, the nuts until evenly distributed.
7. Chilling the Dough: Place the dough in the refrigerator for one hour to allow the butter to solidify.
8. Form Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie for them to spread.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the center is still soft.
10. Cooling: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These eggless chocolate chip cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy baking and indulging in your delicious, egg-free cookies!
