Chocolate Chip Cookies



Ingredients
75g Butter
75g Caster Sugar
75g Soft Light Brown Sugar
Few drops of Vanilla Extract
1 Medium Egg
175g  Self Raising Flour
1 Packet of Chocolate Chips


Firstly, make sure you have all of your equipment out
Next, put the oven on 180° (Gas Mark 4)
Cut out some baking parchment and set it on the baking tray.
Beat the egg in to a mug.
Place the margarine/butter into the mixing bowl and beat until soft using a wooden spoon.
Add all the sugars and a cap full of vanilla extract and continue beating until soft and creamy.
Then, gradually beat in egg using a wooden spoon.
After that, sift the flour in to the mixing bowl and fold (using the figure of 8 motion). DON'T BEAT!
After everything has been folded thoroughly, then fold in the chocolate chips (if you don't have chips you can you a bar of chocolate or you favorite chocolate bar...once I did it with a Crunchie bar and they tasted amazing but what you want to do is put it in to a freezer bag and bash it with a rolling pin.
Now, flour your hands get very small balls of the mixture and they don't need to be mahousive as they will spread so trust me keep them quite small it should make about 15-20 cookies so put about 9 balls onto each tray.
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until they have a bit of colour, if you want to have the millies cookies gooie ness take them out a little before time.
When they are cooked, cool for 1 minute then lift onto the  cooling rack and leave until cold.
Once they are cold you can eat them (yeah!)




Hope you enjoy making them, please tell me how they go and please comment what they tasted like. xx
