Preheat the oven to 350 F, and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine everything except the chocolate chips, stirring the mixture into a soft dough. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Use a medium-sized cookie scoop (about 1 ½ tablespoons) to portion out the dough into 18-20 balls. Roll the cookie dough balls smooth between your hands, and flatten slightly. Place the cookies 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
Bake the cookies for 8 minutes, or until slightly puffed and cracked, but not overly brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for several minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. If you like, decorate the cookies by pressing a few more chocolate chips on top of the cookies while they're hot. Finish with a sprinkling of flaky salt.
