CLASSIC CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Ingredients

150g butter, softened

80g brown sugar

80g castor sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 large egg

225g plain flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

200g dark chocolate chips

Method

Preheat the oven to 160°C fan bake and line two baking trays with baking paper.

 

Place butter and the sugars into a bowl and beat until creamy, then beat in the vanilla extract and egg. Sieve the flour, baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in with a wooden spoon. Add the chocolate chips and stir well.

 

Using a teaspoon, place walnut sized mounds of mixture well apart on the baking trays. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until light brown on the edges and still slightly soft in the centre.

 

Leave on the tray for a couple of minutes to firm up and then transfer to a cooling rack.

Tip: Double the recipe, bake then freeze half the batch for another time.
