First cookie recipe.
Chocolate Chip Cookies.
I promise there will be much more, and more intresting cookie recipes coming as this "series" moves on.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

100g chocolate, chopped
150g plain flour
125g butter
75g soft brown sugar
100g caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
a pinch of salt
2 teaspoons of vanilla essence
1 egg

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees celsius, and place baking paper on the trays you will bake the cookies on (we buttered our trays).

Add the sugars to the soft (or melted) butter, and beat together well with a wooden spoon. Add the vanilla essence, then combine, then add the egg, and combine again.

Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the bowl, and fold them in gently. Then add the chocolate. Mix till combined.

Place heaped dessert spoons of mixture onto the trays, leaving plenty of room between each cookie as they will expand! 

Bake for around 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. They will harden as they cool. After a couple of minutes, transfer them to a wire rack.

Enjoy!
