3. Sift the dry ingredients together and stir in, mixing thoroghly. Add the chocolate chips to the batter, and form the cookies by portioning the dough with a medium size icecream scoop. Drop the ball onto a greased cookie sheet, wet your hand with water, and SPLAT the dough ball out into a 5-inch round. Repeat with the remaining dough.
4. Bake on the prepared cookie sheet, on the center rack of the oven, for 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from the oven while the centers are slightly soft.
