Step 1: Heat oven to 300.
Step 2: In a sifter combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Sift onto wax paper. Set aside.
Step 3: Beat butter and brown sugar 4 minutes on medium speed until soft. Scrape bowl.
Step 4: Add eggs, rum, and vanilla. Beat 1 minute on medium speed. Scrape bowl.
Step 5: On low speed, gradually add flour mixture (should take about a minute).
Step 6: Add chocolate chips and mix 30 seconds on low. Use a spatula to finish mixing dough if needed.
Step 7: Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons of dough per cookie onto an ungreased cookie sheet. You should get about 42 big cookies.
Step 8: Bake 28-30 minutes, rotating cookie sheet once during baking. I bake my cookies about 25-26 minutes so they are a bit more soft/chewy.
