Chocolate Chip Cookies

Who doesn't love a good chocolate chip cookie. Personally I think the best are those that have a mass of chocolate and large chunks too. This is my go-to recipe and it's perfect every time.
You can try all sorts of options for the choc chips - I often buy a whole Cadbury block and just roughly break it up, I've used M&M's and a mixture of dark and white chocolate. Go crazy!
You'll need:
- 150g unsalted butter
- 125g soft light brown sugar
- 100g caster sugar
- 2tsp vanilla
- 1 egg, fridge cold
- 1 egg yolk, fridge cold
- 300g flour
- 1/2tsp bicarb
- 320g choc chips
Then you:
- Preheat oven to 170, line baking sheet
- Melb the butter and let it cool a bit.
- Put the brown and white sugars into mixer bowl, pour the butter over them and beat together.
- Beat in the vanilla, egg and yolk until mixture is light and creamy.
- Slowly mix in the flour and bicarb until just blended, fold in choc chips.
- Scoop the dough using an ice-cream scoop and layout on baking sheet - allow space between.
- Bake for 15 - 17 minutes in the oven until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool on tray for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
