  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually mix into wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and any optional mix-ins until evenly distributed.
  6. Form rounded balls of dough about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
