Ingredients
- 115g unsalted butter, softened
- 50g granulated sugar

- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten

Method
- 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Lightly grease 2-3 non-stick baking sheets. Put the butter and sugars into a large bowl and cream together using an electric hand whisk until pale and fluffy. Gradually beat in the vanilla and egg.
- 2. In a small bowl, mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda and a good pinch of salt, then add to the creamed mixture, along with the chocolate chunks. Mix until combined to a softish dough.
- 3. Put tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the baking sheets, spaced well apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven. Leave on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Eat immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
