Step 2

In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda and salt, then whisk in the chocolate chips.

Step 4

Remove the dough from the fridge, shape into large golf ball sized balls and place on parchment paper lined cookie sheets, flatten with a fork (dip the fork lightly in flour, so it doesn't stick to the cookie dough). Add a few more chocolate chips if desired and refrigerate while the oven is pre-heating.

Pre-heat oven to 350°F (180C).
