In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy and light in color.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually add in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using).

Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until the edges are golden brown. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
