  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  2. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
