Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth.
  2. Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour and baking soda (and 1/4 tsp iodized salt if using unsalted butter). Gradually blend the dry mixture into the wet ingredients.
  4. Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts, if using, until evenly distributed.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 10‑12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on the sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack.
