  6. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For the best results, use room temperature ingredients and do not overmix the dough. Chill the dough for thicker cookies if desired.
