Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened (2 sticks)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/2 tsp. real vanilla extract (no imitation vanilla flavoring)
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 3 1/2 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 3 cups Hershey's Nuggets candies chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla, salt, baking powder and baking soda with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Stir in flour and chopped Hershey’s Nuggets with a wooden spoon to combine.
  • Shape dough with hands into golf ball-sized dough balls and place a couple inches apart on greased cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes or until edges are light brown.
  • Rotate cookies on racks every six minutes while baking.

Notes

NOTE: In my first batch I used about 2 ½ to 3 cups of flour. In subsequent batches I found 3 ½ cups flour worked better.
