Ingredients
- ½ cup softened butter
- ¼ cup granulated sugar

- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1¼ cups plain flour
- ½ teaspoon salt

Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

- In a separate bowl sift together the flour, salt, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda.
- Beat the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and mix well.
- Add in the chocolate chips and mix.
- Depending on the size of the cookies you are wanting to make, take a teaspoonful or Tablespoonful of the mixture and roll into a ball between the palms of your hand. Place the cookie dough ball onto an ungreased tray, leaving at least a 5 cm space around the smallest cookies and a larger space for the bigger cookies.
- Once on the tray and with the palm of your hand, press down on the dough to flatten the cookie.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes of until light brown in colour.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for a couple of minutes before using a spatula to lift the cookies off. Be mindful that if you lift the cookies to early the cookies will break, lifted to late the cookies will stick to the tray.
- Makes 6-18 cookies depending on the size.
