3. In a medium bowl mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
4. Slowly add dry ingredients into wet ingredients, until just combined. Fold in chocolate and let chill for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.
5. Preheat the oven to 175°C. Prepare a baking sheet. Place 1 tsp of dough on the sheet and place more chocolate on top of each dough for looks if you want. Bake for 7 minutes, the dough will be just set, but take out of the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
