- Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Baking
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the center appears undercooked.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
To keep cookies fresh, store in an airtight container at room temperature. Add a slice of bread for moisture, or freeze them for long-term storage.
