- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and set aside.
- In another bowl or mixer, combine sugar and oil. Mix in the eggs and vanilla, combining completely.
- Melt chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave. Be careful not to scorch or burn it. (I suggest microwaving for 15 seconds at a time and stirring in between).
- Add 2 tbsp of the wet mixture to the chocolate and stir well. add another 2 tbsp and stir again. This will ensure the chocolate is well incorporated in the dough and prevent problems with the texture of the cookies.
