  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well each time, then incorporate vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden brown and centers are slightly soft.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
