On *WTF Are We Eating Now?**, we're making our **Ultimate Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies* from scratch. Nothing complicated—just a good old-fashioned cookie recipe made with butter, brown sugar, vanilla, plenty of semi-sweet chocolate chips, and optional walnuts or pecans. These are perfect for dessert, holidays, fall baking, family get-togethers, or those nights when you just want a warm homemade cookie and a cold glass of milk. 🍪🥛 🍪 ULTIMATE HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES *Makes approximately 30–36 cookies* INGREDIENTS *Wet Ingredients — Stand Mixer Bowl* 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks) 3/4 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 large eggs *Dry Ingredients — Separate Bowl* 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt *Add-Ins* 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional) DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to **375°F**. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or leave them ungreased. 2. Add the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the bowl of your stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, beat on medium speed for **2–3 minutes**, until creamy and fluffy. 3. Add the vanilla and mix until combined. 4. Add the eggs **one at a time**, mixing after each egg. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. 5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. 6. Turn the stand mixer to low. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until the flour is incorporated. *Do not overmix.* 7. Add the chocolate chips. Mix on the lowest setting for just a few seconds, or fold them in by hand with a spatula. Fold in the walnuts or pecans now if using. 8. For *thicker cookies**, chill the dough for **30 minutes* before baking. This step is optional. 9. Scoop about *1 1/2 tablespoons of dough per cookie* and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. For prettier cookies, press a few extra chocolate chips into the tops. 10. Bake at **375°F for 9–11 minutes**. Start checking at 9 minutes. The edges should be lightly golden while the centers still look soft and slightly underdone. 11. Remove from the oven and let the cookies sit on the hot baking sheet for **5 minutes**. 12. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool. And that's it! You've got a big batch of warm, homemade chocolate chip cookies ready to disappear. 😋🍪 If you make these, *drop a comment and let us know how they turned out!* And don't forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and follow *WTF Are We Eating Now?* for more homemade recipes, comfort food, desserts, baking, and whatever the hell we're eating next! 👉 *Our YouTube Channel:*    / @wtfareweeatingnow   #ChocolateChipCookies #HomemadeCookies #CookieRecipe #ChocolateChipCookieRecipe #UltimateChocolateChipCookies #HomemadeDesserts #BakingRecipes #EasyCookieRecipe #DessertRecipes #FromScratchBaking #FallBaking #FallRecipes #ComfortFood #HomeCooking #EasyDesserts #WTFAreWeEatingNow
