Ingredients

  • 175g unsalted butter, softened
  • 150g light brown sugar
  • 50g caster sugar

  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugars until fluffy and light in colour. Add egg and vanilla and blend in.
  3. Mix in flour, cornflour, baking soda and salt. Stir in chocolate chunks. Using a standard-sized cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto a prepared baking sheet.
