• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 eggs

Recipe

• 1 mix wet ingredients.
• 2 mix dry ingredients.
• 3 combine wet and dry ingredients except chocolate chips.
• 4 adjust flour (dough should not be so sticky that it doesn't incorporate and stay together rather than stick to sides -- depending on altitude, this may mean using 1/4 cup less or up to 1/4 cup more. being at a high altitude, i usually use a total of 3-3 1/4 cups flour for the right consistency -- this may take a little experimenting for "just right").
• 5 add chocolate chips.
• 6 drop by generous tablespoonful onto baking sheet.
• 7 bake at 350 for 10 minutes. add a minute if they look like they need it.
