Chocolate Chip Cookies

125 gms         Butter (unsalted & softened)

1 ¼ cups         Brown sugar (tightly packed)

1 tsp                Vanilla essence

1                                            Egg, lightly beaten

1 ½ cups         Flour

½ tsp               Baking powder

1 ½ cups         Chocolate bits

A pinch of salt

Preheat the oven to 180ºC.  Place butter and sugar in a bowl and beat until light and creamy.  Add vanilla and egg and stir to combine.  Stir in the sifted flour, baking powder and salt until just combined.  Fold through chocolate chips.  Place spoonfuls of cookie mixture on a greased and lined baking tray, allowing room for spreading.  Cook for 15-20 minutes, until they turn pale gold.  Allow to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before placing biscuits on a wire rack to cool further.
