125 grams butter
½ cup caster sugar (or granulated sugar)
½ cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups SR flour (or 1 ¾ cups plain/all-purpose flour and 3 teaspoons baking powder and a pinch of salt)
¾ cups chocolate chips milk, dark or white (or 125 grams roughly chopped chocolate)

Pre-heat oven to moderate (180 degrees celsius, fan-forced).
Line three baking trays with baking paper.
Cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
Add lightly whisked egg and vanilla extract and beat again until well combined.
Fold in flour gradually, and then stir in chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout mixture. (But don't overmix!)
Roll tablespoons into balls and place on baking tray, spaced to allow for spreading. Flatten balls slightly with your fingertips.
Bake for 13-15 minutes.
Allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking tray and then use a spatula to transfer to a cooling tray.
Store in an airtight container.
