- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

- Experiment with different types of chocolate chips for varied flavors and textures.
- Consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking for an enhanced taste.
