Chocolate chip cookies

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups softened unsalted butter
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• 2 medium eggs
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (you can use any chocolate you like!)

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F).
2. In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugar and mix until completely combined. Then add the eggs and vanilla and mix again.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda and salt). Add this to the butter, sugar and egg mixture.
4. Once everything is combined, mix in the chocolate chips.
5. Use a spoon to scoop the cookie dough onto the baking sheet. Place the cookies about 5 cm (2 inches) apart and flatten them.
   Tip: I like using an ice cream scoop!
6. Bake the cookies for 8–10 minutes, or until light golden brown. Let them cool for a minute before taking them off the baking sheet.
7. Enjoy!
