Mix dry and wet ingredients: Pour the liquid ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir well until a smooth dough forms.

Add chocolate: Add the chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips and stir into the batter. This gives the cookies a delicious chocolate flavor and an extra dose of sweetness.

Form cookies: Take small portions of the dough and form them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and flatten them slightly.
