Choose whatever sweet additions you like though, from smarties to hazelnuts there's definitely something for everyone.
After some recipe tweaking here's the basic cookie dough ingredients and method.

After some recipe tweaking here's the basic cookie dough ingredients and method.
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Line baking tray with parchment paper.
- Cream butter for 2-3 mins using an electric mixer or a wooden spoon if you are feeling energetic!
- Add both sugars and continue to mix until paler in colour and soft.
- Separate one egg and beat this with one whole egg in a measuring jug. Add vanilla extract.
- Add egg into butter/sugar mixture and beat in until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Stir flour and baking powder into mixture - I don't user the electric mixture for this as it tends to over-mix and makes the cookies tough.
- Finally stir in your chosen addition around 300g of chocolate chips is ideal.
- Using clean floured hands quickly roll the mixture into balls. This makes around 20.
- Place on a baking tray well spaced apart as they do tend to spread a little. You'll probably need to bake in 2-3 separate batches.
- Bake for 15 - 17 mins until golden around the edges.
- Remove from tray and allow to cool on a wire rack.
Enjoy!
