Classic chocolate chip cookies. Nothing healthy here.
The dough is made the day before as it needs chilling but it’s worth the forward planning. On the upside, that means you have chocolate chip cookies ready to make first thing.

They also bake really well from frozen.
Divide the mix, flatten and then put safely in the freezer eg with baking paper between each one. Then bake from frozen.

Add the egg and vanilla if using. Beat together.

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 180. And line a baking tray with baking paper. I needed two trays.

Divide the mix into golf ball size balls. And put on the lined tray (s) with lots of space to grow.
8

Slightly flatten with your hand/ a spoon. Bake until golden - for about 15 mins.
