- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips and any optional add-ins.

Notes
For perfect shape, use the back of a spatula to gently press and shape the dough into a rectangle with even thickness.
This cookie can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container.
For festive presentation, use colored chocolate candies to write messages or create designs on top before baking.
Pre-slice the cookie into portions before serving for easier sharing.
