Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  3. Cream softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in the vanilla extract into your butter and sugar mixture until fully combined.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture while mixing on low speed until just incorporated.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  8. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each mound.
  9. Press extra chocolate chips on top and sprinkle lightly with flaked sea salt.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden edges and slightly underbaked centers appear.
  11. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
