Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

115g/4oz butter
60g/2oz granulated sugar
65g/2.5oz light brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
175g/6oz plain flour
1 tablespoon corn flour
½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
½ teaspoon salt
100g/3.5 milk or dark chocolate chips

Method:

Cream the butter, sugar and light brown sugar together with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Add the egg and vanilla essence and mix together.
Add flour, corn flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt and mix again until all combined.
Add chocolate chips and mix again.
Use your hands now to incorporate all chocolate chips into the mixture.
Taking tablespoon size amounts of mixture, roll it in your hands to make a ball and place on baking paper on a cookie sheet.

After making all the cookie dough balls, place the cookie sheet in the fridge for 1 hour.
After the hour, these cookie dough balls can be frozen for later use.

If cooking straight away, keep on cookie sheet with baking parchment, but ensure you have a 2inch space around each cookie so they have space to spread.
Place in pre-heated oven at 160⁰C/325⁰F/Gas Mark 3 for 15-18 minutes.
They will be golden brown when cooked, crisp on the outside and soft and chewy in the middle.
Leave to cool a little before eating.
These are perfect served still warm from the oven!

Enjoy!
