Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chewy is so much better than crispy...  like eating out of a mixing bowl!

• 110g unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup caster sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp vanilla essence
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup flour + 2 tbsp more
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup chocolate chips

1. Preheat the oven at 190 C. Line a large tray with baking sheet.
2. Sift the flour and baking soda together. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, blend the butter with the caster sugar & brown sugar with a whisk.
4. Add in the egg, salt and vanilla essence. Whisk until combined.
5. Add in the flour mixture and blend until it's smooth. 
6. Pour in the chocolate chips and roughly mix with a spatula.
7. Using 2 teaspoons, scoop out a heaped teaspoon of batter and drop them on the cookie sheet with the other teaspoon. Keep them about 2 inches apart, as the batter will expand when cooking. 
8. Bake them for 6-8 minutes until the edges are brown and it looks slightly chewy still. 
9. Take the tray out and let it stand for awhile, lift each cookie out to cool on a wired rack.
