- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare ungreased baking sheets.
- Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.

- Fold in the chocolate chips and any optional mix-ins.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.

Notes
Use softened butter for a creamy mixture, mix just until combined to avoid tough cookies, and store cookies in an airtight container for freshness.
