- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the nuts or dried fruit if using.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto a lined baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or enjoy with a glass of cold milk.
