Method
1. Preheat the oven to 170ºC/325ºF/gas three. Line two baking sheets with greaseproof paper.
2. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until the mix is pale and creamy. Carefully crack in the egg, add the vanilla and mix thoroughly. Sift in and fold through the flour and salt. Chop and stir the chocolate into the doughy mix.
3. Use tablespoons to divide the dough and roll them into balls, then place them onto the lined trays. Cover and leave to chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.

4. Use your fingers to slightly flatten the balls, then place in the hot oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly golden.
Keep an eye on the time because you don't want to overcook your cookies. (make sure you don’t overdo them – the chewier the better). Leave them to cool fully. Serve with a cup of tea or coffee - perfect if you're hosting.
