CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Preparation:

1. Beat the butter at room temperature with the sugar until whitened, add the vanilla essence, the pinch of salt and the egg, mix well. Sift the flour with the Royal baking powder and add it to the previous mixture. Finally add the chocolate chips. Form a soft dough ball without kneading it too much. Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
2. . Roll out the dough half a centimeter thick, cut circles and place them on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 190º C for approximately 7 minutes. Tips: You will realize that they are ready when the edges of the cookies begin to look slightly browned. It is important not to wait for them to brown on top, otherwise they will be too hard when they cool down.
3.  It is important to let the dough rest in the refrigerator so that they keep their shape when cooked. To stretch the dough we can help us with a little flour on the counter, but be careful not to overdo it, otherwise the cookies would be like stones.
4.  You can use chocolate chips, which are available in almost any supermarket, but you can also chop chocolate bars.
