- Once your dough is combined well, add in the 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips and fold into your dough with a spatula.
- Line a 9x9 inch deep baking dish with parchment paper. Press the cookie dough into the bottom of the pan until you have an even layer.
- Top the cookie dough with the remaining 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips and spread evenly over the top.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes or until the center is baked through and the top is starting to turn golden brown.
