Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preparation

1. 1

   Heat oven to 180°C / 160°C fan / gas 4 and line two baking sheets with parchment.

2. 2

   Beat the butter with both sugars until pale and fluffy, then mix in the egg and vanilla extract.

3. 3

   Stir in the flour, bicarbonate of soda, chocolate chips, and ¼ tsp salt until just combined.

4. 4

   Scoop 10 large tbsps of the mixture onto the trays, leaving enough space between each to allow for spreading.

5. 5

   Bake for 10-12 mins or until firm at the edges but still soft in the middle. They will harden a little as they cool.
