Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in measuring cup add gradually to mixing bowl. Mix until just combine, do not over mix. Fold in chocolate chips with large spatula.

Notes
Note: If you are short on time spread the dough out in a 12×15 baking sheet sprayed with PAM, bake for 15-20 minutes, let cool, and cut into squares.***Butterscotch Instant Pudding is amazing in these cookies. When I made the double batch I used 1 package vanilla, 1 package butterscotch.
