PREPARATION:

1. Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Place the butter that has been melted into a large mixing basin and add the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Use a mixer to beat the three sugars together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is very necessary to get the ideal cookie texture.

3. Add the eggs one at a time while beating them in, making sure that each egg is well mixed in before adding the next one. Stir in the essence of vanilla bean.

4. In a separate dish, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt by mixing them together with a whisk. The dry ingredients should be gradually added to the wet components while continuing to mix until a dough is formed.

5. Incorporate the semisweet chocolate chips in a gentle manner. If you so want, you may also include chopped nuts or other mix-ins into the recipe.

6. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop rounded scoops of cookie dough onto the baking sheet that has been prepared. Make sure to leave enough room between each cookie so that they have room to spread.

7. Bake in an oven that has been warmed for ten to twelve minutes, or until the outsides have a golden brown color and the insides are just slightly firm. Take care not to overbake the cookies, since their consistency will continue to harden even after they have cooled.

8. Once the cookies have finished baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling entirely.

9. Once they have cooled down, get a glass of milk and enjoy these mouthwatering chocolate chip cookies that you have created at home.
