For the cookie dough

  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed.

Notes

These cookies are best served warm with milk or tea. They make a delightful addition to dessert tables, cookie exchanges, and parties. To keep them fresh, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze with parchment paper between layers.
