  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  4. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
