  2. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
  3. Cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the vanilla extract and mix well to combine.
  5. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts using a spatula.
  8. Scoop 3 tablespoons of dough using a cookie scoop and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Optional: Top each dough mound with additional chocolate chips and a light sprinkle of flaked sea salt.

Enjoy warm with a glass of milk for the ultimate treat. Chilling the dough helps maintain its shape during baking and prevents excessive spreading.
