  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add all the ingredients except chocolate chips and stir to combine.
  3. Fold in chocolate chips.
  4. Using a tablespoon or medium cookie scoop, scoop dough and roll dough into 16 balls. Each cookie should be about 2 Tablespoons of dough. Flatten with fingers or a fork to form a cookie shape.
  5. Bake for 9-10 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. Cool on baking sheet a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
