Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you haven't tried Nestlé's new caramel chocolate baking chips then I urge you, please, you must obtain some! It is one of the most addictive creations I've had in a long time. Nothing can describe the heady sensation you get when you stick your nose into flavours of the plastic pouch. They are so irresistible that I have often bought them simply to eat straight from the pack. And I have no idea how something that looks and feels like a regular chocolate chip can explode into butterscotch sauce and toffee with hot chocolate in your mouth. So this morning, to pay homage to the wee little buds, I made thick, chewy chocolate chip cookies.

CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Preheat oven to 160ºC.
In a bowl combine 2 cups plain flour with ½ tsp baking soda and ½ tsp salt. Set aside.
Melt 170g of unsalted butter and combine with 1 cup brown sugar and ½ cup caster sugar.
Mix in 1 tbsp vanilla extract and one whole egg.
Add one egg yolk, mix well.
Gradually mix in the flour mixture.
Stir in the entire contents of the 250g bag of baking chocolate chips.
Dollop the batter with a large spoon onto lined baking trays, spaced well apart.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Best indulged in while still warm :)
