Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is a simple and delicious recipe for chocolate chip cookies. My daughter loves to have one cookie along with strawberry milk for her second break at school. My previous attempts at chocolate chip cookies have been more or less disastrous, simply because I always experiment to make them eggless or the amounts are too much, or something always goes wrong. And then I am left with huge amounts of cookies with no takers. So I was looking for a recipe that made just a few cookies, so I could always bake fresh batch every week, also which resulted in cookies that tasted like they were supposed to.

This one makes about 10 cookies, and is adapted from a Kids recipe book, the original asks for more sugar, the sugar in my version tasted absolutely alright, not too sweet. Just right, and nice and chewy cookies!

Ingredients
2/3 cup + 1 tablespoon A.P. flour
1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
4 tablespoon granulated sugar
4 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon water
5 tablespoon chocolate chips

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degree and line a baking sheet with butter/parchment paper.
2. Sift the flour, soda bi carb and salt into a bowl.
3. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg yolk, vanilla and water, mix well.
4. Gradually stir in the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Add the chocolate chips and combine.
6. Scoop out spoonfuls of the dough onto the lined baking sheet, I used my hand to roll them into lime sized balls. Do not flatten.
7. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges of the cookies begin to brown.
8. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet until they are firm, but still warm.
