Add in the flour, salt, baking soda, and cocoa powder and mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Roll the dough into 3 tablespoon sized balls and place on the baking sheet around 3 inches apart.

Notes

Please Note: I highly recommend using a kitchen scale to weigh your dry ingredients. Metric measurements are found above under the "Metric" tab.

Measuring Flour & Cocoa Powder: Properly measure your flour and cocoa powder using the scoop and level method or a kitchen scale. Too much flour will lead to dry, crumbly cookies.

Storage & Freezing Instructions:

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days.

You can also freeze the cookie dough. After step 4, place the cookie balls on a baking sheet and place in the freezer until frozen. Take the sheet out and store the frozen cookie dough balls in a freezer container or a ziploc bag. Bake as instructed!

You can also freeze the baked cookies in a ziploc freezer bag once they have cooled.
