Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined.
Stir in chocolate chips and nuts if using.
Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9–11 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
Cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
