Chocolate chip cookies

Hi there today we're making chocolate chip cookies. I love cookies especially chocolate chip and the great thing is they have hardly any ingreadents as well as a really short cooking time!

You will need:

• 125g butter, softened
• 100g light brown soft sugar
• 125g caster sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 225g self-raising flour
• ½ tsp salt
• 100g of chocolate chips or chunks.
• Method
• 1.Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4
• 2.Cream butter and both sugars, once creamed, combine in the egg and vanilla.
• 3.Sift in the flour and salt, then add the chocolate chips.
• 4.Roll into walnut size balls and squash down with the palm of your hand to form circles 
• 5.Place on ungreased baking paper. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes.
• 6.Take out of the oven and leave to harden for a minute before transferring to a wire cooling rack. These are great warm, and they also store well, if you don't eat them all straight away
• This should make about 12 cookies!
