To start off, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer. Add in the eggs, one at a time, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts, if using.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
This chocolate chip cookie recipe for Christmas is sure to be a hit with everyone. The combination of the crispy edges and chewy center, paired with the rich chocolate chips, makes for the perfect holiday treat. These cookies also make great gifts, so be sure to make an extra batch to share with your loved ones. Happy baking!
