  6. Step 6: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don’t overmix!
  7. Step 7: Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts if you’re using them.
  8. Step 8: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  10. Step 10: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
