Choc Chip Cookies

This is a real easy recipe. This was one of the few recipes I tried a few months ago and my husband just loved it. So - it did boost my confidence a bit to keep me going. If you are like me, a beginner in the kitchen, then it's good to start on simple recipes. And as Chef Auguste Gusteau in the movie Ratatouille said: "Anyone can cook!".

Here goes the recipe for this lovely home made choc chip cookies. Enjoy...:-)

Ingredients:

150 g unsalted butter
1/3 cup caster sugar
1/4 cup soft brown sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
1/2 cup dark choc bits
1/2 cup milk choc bits

1. Pre-heat the oven at 180 celsius degrees. Grease 2 baking trays and line with non-stick baking paper.
2. Beat the butter, caster and brown sugar, and egg yolk in a bowl using an electric beater until light and creamy.
3. Add the vanilla essence and beat until combined.
4. Add the flour and half of the choc bits. Stir until just combined.
5. Press the mixture together to form a soft dough.
6. Roll the mixtures into balls using a tablespoon. Then, press the reamining choc bits firmly on top of the balls.
7. Arrange the balls on the tray, leaving room for spreading.
8. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until crisp and lightly browned.
9. Cool on the tray before serving.
