  3. Add the all purpose flour, baking powder, and salt directly into the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a rubber spatula just until no dry flour streaks remain visible.
  4. Fold the semi sweet chocolate chips gently into the thick batter so they distribute evenly. Save a small handful to press into the top of the dough.
