Chocolate chip cookies

Method

1. Set the oven to 190°C/gas 5. Cream the butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and scrape in the vanilla seeds.

2. Put the flour, salt and baking powder into a sieve and sift into the butter mix. Fold to thoroughly combine then add the chocolate chips.

3. On a baking sheet, drop 2 tablespoons of the batter 5cm apart. Bake in batches for 8 minutes, until crisp. Cool on a wire rack.

4. While the biscuits are still hot, poke a hole 1/3 of the way down the cookie with a clean round pen top. Let the cookies cool completely and string a pretty ribbon through and tie in a loop so that you can hang them on the Christmas tree.

Cooks Notes:
Feel free to halve the quantities if you just want to make a batch of cookies and don't forget you can make this dough up to 1 month before cooking and freeze in logs wrapped in greaseproof paper.
