Preheat the oven to 200°C, (fan 180°C, gas mark 4) and line 2 baking trays with baking parchmen. |
| 2. |
In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugars until pale and fluffy then add the egg and vanilla extract and mix together well. |
| 3. |
Sift the flour and salt and then add to the egg mixture. Mixing thoroughly until a soft dough forms. Finally stir in the chocolate chips. |
| 4. |
Break off walnut sized pieces of the dough, and roll into balls. Place these on the baking sheets leaving space between them as they will spread out during baking. |
| 5. |
Place in the oven and bake for 7 minutes for the ultimate chewy experience, or 10 minutes if you prefer a crunch. Leave to cool on the trays for about 10 minutes then transfer onto a cooling rack to cool completely. |
