Ask a question about this stepIn the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla together until combined. Increase to medium speed and mix until the mixture is pale and thick, about 4-5 minutes.

Ask a question about this stepScoop the dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet, and press down the dough slightly. Bake in a 350 degree oven until set around the edges (they will still appear very soft in the middle, but will set as they cool), about 10-12 minutes (this is using a large cookie scoop, keep an eye on the first batch depending on how big you're making your cookies). Do not overbake - these cookies are wonderfully ooey-gooey when baked just until set with a crackled surface. Cool on a wire rack.
