Tips
- Do not overwork the batter; mix only as much as necessary.
- Form cookies with your hand rather than a cookie scoop to achieve the desired shape and texture.
- Leave cookies on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
- The amount of vanilla extract and chocolate chips can be measured with your heart, allowing for personal preference.
