  • Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
  • Drop rounded tablespoon portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are soft.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Chilling the dough is essential for thick, chewy cookies. Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies.
