• 75g caster sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 180g plain flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

2. With a mixer, cream together the softened butter, dark brown sugar, and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add in the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar, continue mixing until well combined.
4. Once combined, sift in the plain flour, baking soda and chocolate chips, mixing with a spatula until combined.
5. Add the salt and mix.
6. Divide the mixture into 10 equal balls, rolling each in your hands.
7. Place 5 balls on each baking tray, leaving space between them to allow for spreading.
8. Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.

10. For best results, allow the cookies to rest for at least 30 minutes before serving.
