Miss B's Classic Cookies

Right, I know that this is nothing to do with beauty but I think every now and again we need a little cheering on the inside so here is my much requested and pretty unbeatable cookie recipe:

300 g plain flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
170g butter
215g light brown sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
300g choc chips

Pre-heat the oven to 190 degrees centigrade

• Sift together the flour, bicarbonate of soada and salt and set aside.
• Stir together soft butter, sugar and vanilla extract. Add the egg and then the extra yolk. Beat well to ensure that the egg is evenly distributed.
  
• Stir in the dry ingedients then fold in the choc chips.
  
• Cover in cling film and chill until firm (at least 30 minutes)
• Make hockey puck shapes in a prepared baking tray. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes until the edges begin to look golden.
  
• Cool on the sheet for one minute and remove with a wide spatula to a cooling rack.
  

These are great because they are quick and easy to make, you can freeze the dough and you can cook for as long or as short as you like to get the perfect consistency. Everyone will treat you like Nigella for the day and they don't have to know that these are minimum effort maximum result. xx
