- Step 4: Add Wet Ingredients Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract until smooth.
- Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients in two batches, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Step 6: Fold in Chocolate Chips Gently fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts if using) with a rubber spatula.
