INGREDIENTS

• Sugar: The recipe starts with 1 ½ cups white sugar. 
• Butter: Beat the sugar with two sticks of softened butter.
• Eggs: Two eggs lend moisture and act as a binding agent, which means they help hold the dough together. 
• Vanilla: Vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor of the chocolate chocolate chip cookies. 
• Flour: All-purpose flour gives the cookie dough structure. 
• Cocoa powder: They wouldn’t be chocolate chocolate chip cookies without cocoa powder!
• Baking soda: Baking soda acts as a leavened, which means it helps the cookies rise. 
• Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor, but it won’t make the cookies taste salty. 
• Chocolate chips: You’ll need two cups of semisweet chocolate chips. 
• Walnuts (optional): Walnuts are optional, but they add welcome crunch.
