Add 1 egg to the creamed mixture and mix until combined.

Add 2 teaspoons of Mexican vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined.

Fold in 3/4 cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Scoop the dough onto a cookie sheet using a 2-tablespoon scoop, aiming for 12-14 cookies.

If the dough is too soft, refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour before baking.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake for 10-13 minutes, checking at 10 minutes.

Let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.
