Ingredients:
- Half a cup of white sugar
- Three quarters of a cup of brown sugar
- Half a cup of butter
- One room temperature egg
- Dash of vanilla essence
- Quarter of a cup of plain flour
- Pinch of baking soda
- Chocolate chips
- Pinch of salt flakes
Method:
- Mix the half cup of white sugar, three quarters of a cup of brown sugar and half a cup of butter together.
- Add one egg (go for room temperature if you want fluffier cookies), along with a dash of vanilla extract.
- Whisking everything together, add a quarter of a cup of plain flour and a pinch of baking soda.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and add a pinch of salt flakes.
- Refrigerate for one hour and then bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes. The longer you refrigerate, the richer and chewier the cookies.
