10 Tips for when cooking this dish

Use room temperature eggs: This will help the dough come together smoothly.
Do not overmix the dough: Mix just until combined to ensure the cookies are chewy.
Space out the cookies: Leave enough room on the baking sheet for the cookies to spread.
Check the cookies early: Start checking the cookies around the 9-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
Cool the cookies on the baking sheet: Let them cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack, as they will firm up while cooling.
Add extra chocolate chips: For a more decadent cookie, increase the chocolate chip amount.
Use a cookie scoop: For uniform-sized cookies, a cookie scoop is helpful.
Optional: Add a pinch of sea salt to the top of the cookies for a sweet-and-salty combination.
Experiment with mix-ins: You can try adding dried fruit, toffee bits, or mini marshmallows.
Store in an airtight container: Keep the cookies fresh by storing them in a sealed container.

Serving Suggestions

A drizzle of caramel sauce for extra sweetness and richness.
A side of fresh berries for a light and refreshing contrast to the richness of the cookies.
A glass of cold milk, the perfect pairing with any cookie.
Hot chocolate or coffee, which enhances the chocolatey flavors of the cookies.
