Add 2 cups flour to the bowl.

Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon baking soda.

Mix until the flour is well combined and the mixture looks like dough.

Add 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until mixed in.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a baking sheet, placing them about 2 inches apart.

Flatten each cookie ball until very flat.

Bake in the oven at 375°F for about 7 minutes.

Let the cookies sit on the pan for about 2 minutes after removing from the oven.

Transfer cookies to a cooling rack to finish cooling off.
