Beat for 2 minutes more, then scrape down the bowl. Add the salt and baking soda and beat briefly until evenly combined, then add the flour. Mix on low speed until the dough is uniform. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or scrape the dough into an airtight container and let rest in the refrigerator until firm, a few hours or overnight. Alternatively, if you don’t want to wait, form the dough into balls as instructed below, arrange on the baking sheets, and chill in the fridge until firm, about 30 minutes.
Drop the dough in firmly packed 1. 5-tablespoon balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. 5-T cookie scoop with a wire trigger. 3 cup chocolate chips and dot them on the dough balls, pressing them in slightly, before baking.
