Recipe : Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yield: 10-12 cookies

1 cup flour

½ tsp salt

½ tsp baking soda

4 oz/100g/1 stick butter

½ cup sugar

1/3rd cup light brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 egg

1 cup chocolate chip

1. Sieve the flour, salt and baking soda together. Keep aside.
2. In a bowl, beat the butter for about a minute. Then add the sugars and beat for another 2 minutes until well blended and creamy. Beat in the vanilla.
3. Add in the egg.
4. Reducing the mixer speed to the lowest setting, add in the flour a little at a time, until evenly incorporated.
5. Stir in the chocolate chips. Reserve a handful for later. Refrigerate the cookie dough for half an hour.
6. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or on a Silpat, spoon rounded tablespoonfuls of the cookie dough.
7. Bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F/190°C for 10-12 minutes.
8. Then a good idea would also be to turn the sheet the other way round so that the cookies will bake evenly.
9. Let cool on a cooling rack. Have them with a tall glass of milk.
