Chocolate Chip Cookies

We All love chocolate chip cookies, no matter what age or what race we belong to..every one has their own favourite recipe, some like them crispy while others want their cookies to be soft and chewy, here's how i make these cookies, its a very basic recipe but comes out great every time i make it...

Ingredients:

150gm all purpose flour

112 gm melted butter

1 egg

82 gm brown sugar

75 gm white sugar

½ tsp salt

½ tsp baking soda

½ cup chopped nuts (nuts are optional and u can use any nuts you like)

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup to 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Method:

1) In a bowl mix together all purpose flour, baking soda and salt. In a another bowl beat the butter, white sugar and brown sugar until light and smooth (for 2 minutes), beat in the egg and vanilla extract

2) Now gradually add in the flour mixture to the butter mixtures and mix until incorporated, add in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips and mix together.Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for a minimum of 1 hour 

 3) when ready to bake, preheat to 180-190 degrees C. (If you only have 1 baking sheet, let it cool completely between batches.) 

4) Drop large tablespoon full 2 inches apart on to un-greased cooking sheet. (Use tbsp full for bigger and chewier cookies and tsp full for smaller and crisper cookies)

5) Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the edges are nicely browned. Take them out of the oven, let them cool down slightly then remove on wire rack. ( I bake my cookies for 20-25 minutes as i like them to be crunchy)
