In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture a third at a time on low speed, mixing until just combined.

Stir in 11 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips by hand.

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a non-stick baking sheet or lined with parchment paper.
