Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies

 

Simple is usually best. Warm cookies are the best comfort food and I made a batch on Friday night. Turns out they were perfect to enjoy with the rainy weather and a cup of tea as well. These cookies are slightly salty, with brown sugar and masses of chocolate chips. I highly doubt I'll ever need another recipe. Enjoy.

3. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Cover and refrigerate mixture for 1 hour (skip this step if rushed).
5. Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius. Grease baking trays.
