Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until combined.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently to ensure even distribution.
- Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each scoop.
Baking
- Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding nuts or a mix of chocolate chips. Store cookies in an airtight container for best freshness.
