As you beat the dough pay close attention to the consistency – add liquid until you achieve a smooth but sturdy dough.
Stir in chocolate chips until combined (the dough is stiff).
Place 2" apart on lined sheets and flatten slightly.
Bake 12 minutes (they will still be slightly soft).
Cool on the sheets 15 minutes, then move to a wire rack.
The cookies will get crisper as they cool.
