These Chocolate Chip Cookies might just be the best I have ever eaten! They have everything you'd ever want in a cookie: they're soft, chewy, flavorful, and full of chocolate chips!
Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat together the butter and brown sugar on high speed for about 30 seconds. Add the egg, honey, and vanilla extract and beat on high until fluffy.
Add the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Beat on low speed just until all the flour is incorporated. Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies for spreading room.
Bake the pans of cookies one at a time in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and the tops are no longer wet. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy!
