- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.

For an extra indulgent treat, melt some extra chocolate chips and drizzle over cooled cookies. You can also press a few extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie dough ball before baking for a picture-perfect finish. Store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
