  3. Sprinkle in salt, baking soda, and optional cinnamon, stirring until evenly combined.
  4. Gradually fold in all-purpose flour until there are no visible dry patches.
  5. Gently incorporate chocolate chips and optional chopped walnuts into the dough.
  6. Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour to firm it up.
  7. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drop dough balls onto the sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  8. Optional: Press a few additional chocolate chips onto each cookie dough ball before baking.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
