Mix together flour cocoa powder salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Add flour mixture to butter mixture a little at a time mixing well after each addition. Gently fold in oats and chocolate chips. Cover batter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Roll dough into 12 golf ball-sized balls and place on a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Press down on each cookie to flatten to about 1/2 of its original height.

Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden 8 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
