Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing for another 10-15 seconds.Add in your chocolate chips with a spoon until it forms a ball. You may need to finish this with your hands to get everything incorporated. The ball should be soft and slightly "wet."Roll the dough into 12 balls. Place the balls on the cookie sheet. Bake for 10-11 minutes until the edges just start to turn golden brown. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 25-30 minutes.
