Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 4

Add in the flour, baking soda and salt. Stir them together till you have a soft dough.

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Scoop the cookie dough into 2 Tablespoon sized balls, and roll them into balls about the size of a golf ball.

Step 7

Top each cookie dough ball for 4 or 5 chocolate chips to make the cookies look extra nice.

Step 8

Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are light golden brown and the middle is just set. The middle may look a little under done.

Remove cookies from oven and let them cool on the sheet for 5 minutes.
