  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

For a nuttier flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as white chocolate or milk chocolate.
