Old-school chocolate chip cookies

I saw this recipe on BBC good food and decided to make some healthy alterations to it. It is a classic recipe and a hit amongst friends. You can even use the same recipe and add coffee essence instead of vanilla to make coffee chocolate chip cookies. Ingredients 120g butter 40g brown sugar 40g caster sugar 2 tsp of vanilla essence or coffee essence 1 large egg 100g plain flour 100g whole meal flour ½ tsp bicarbonate soda ¼ teaspoon salt 100g dark chocolate chip (I usually use Cadbury 70% cacao) Preparation time: 30min Oven temperature: 190C Baking time: 10-15min (or once the cookies turn brown) Nutrition per cookie (12g) Click on the images for baking instructions
