Ingredients:

• 1 cup of softened butter
• 1 cup of granulated white sugar
• 1 cup of firmly packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
• 3 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 2 teaspoons of hot water
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 2 cups of high-quality semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup of chopped walnuts (optional, but highly recommended for that extra crunch)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and prepare your baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated white sugar, and firmly packed brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next one. Then, stir in the pure vanilla extract until well combined.
4. In a separate small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the hot water, and then add it to the batter along with the salt. Mix until evenly distributed.
5. Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the batter, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies.
6. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using) until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop large spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie for them to spread while baking.
8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still soft.
9. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Now, all that’s left to do is pour yourself a glass of milk and indulge in the most delicious chocolate chip cookies you’ve ever tasted. Enjoy every bite of these irresistible treats!
