Mix all dry ingredients together (except chocolate chips) in a medium bowl. Add in wet ingredients and combine well, then mix in chocolate chips.
Scoop out 1 tablespoon cookie dough with a measuring spoon and place it on your prepared baking sheet, then press down a little with the palm of your hand to flatten the cookie. Place the next cookie about three inches away from the first one and continue until the baking sheet is full.
Bake for 6-10 minutes. These cookies will be very soft while they're baking, but will firm up after they've cooled for about ten minutes. Don't rely on firmness to know when they're ready - to check, gently lift one cookie to see if it is slightly golden brown on the bottom. If it is, they're ready!
Allow to cool for 10 minutes on the cookie sheet so they can firm up, then enjoy. These cookies freeze well, so feel free to make a double batch and save half.
