1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
Beat in the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using).
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden while centers remain soft.
Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.
