- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed through the dough.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes to help the cookies hold their shape during baking.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop 1.5-tablespoon portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top before baking. You can also freeze the dough balls for up to 3 months and bake directly from frozen.
