Choc Chip Cookies

Directions

• Preheat oven to 190ºC and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the softened butter and sugars in a large bowl and using an electric hand whisk beat the mixture until light and fluffy, about 2/3 minutes.
• Add the vanilla extract and eggs and beat in until creamy and fully combined
• Place a sieve over the bowl and add the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt and sieve the dry ingredients into the butter eggs and sugar mix
• Stir to combine all ingredients
• Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Using a small ice cream scoop or your hands scoop golf ball sized dough balls and place onto the prepared baking sheet
• Once all the dough is moulded into balls, place into the fridge to rest for at least an hour
• After resting transfer the dough balls to another baking tray lined with parchment paper at least 3″ apart and 2″ from the edges of the tray
• If you only have one baking tray and need to bake the cookies in two sessions, place the remaining balls in the fridge until you are ready to bake them off.
• Bring the dough back to room temperature before baking
• Place in the hot oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until light golden brown.
• Serve with a glass of milk or your favourite cuppa.
• Mmm cookie heaven!!
