300g flour
½ tsp baking soda

150g milk or white chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 170.
2. Melt the butter then let it cool a little. Put the sugars in a bowl and pour over the the cooled butter. Beat these together then add the vanilla, egg plus yolk and continue to beat until light and creamy, then add the flour and baking soda and gently combine. Finally add the chocolate chips and combine.
3. Divide the mixture into 16 balls and lay them onto 2 baking tray’s covered with baking paper. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden on top. A good tip is to make sure you swap the trays in the oven half way through cooking time to ensure they cook evenly. Remove and let cool.

Useful tips
If there is too much mixture shape like a log on some cling film, wrap and freeze. Simply pull the frozen cookie dough log from the freezer slice place on tray and bake.
