Thick Ole Choco Chip Cookies

Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced.Line two baking trays with baking or parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, add cold butter and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until combined. Add vanilla and egg. Beat again until combined but try not to over mix.

Add flour, cornflour, baking soda and salt, if using, and beat on a low speed until soft cookie dough forms. Add chocolate and walnuts and beat briefly.

Scoop out cookie dough***, roughly 2 tablespoons per cookie, and place on prepared oven trays, leaving room for the cookie to spread.

Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.Leave cookies to cool completely.

If you dont have any cornflour (or cornstarch), add an extra tablespoon of flour.

*You can use any nut you like (e.g. pecans or macadamias). If you want to leave out the nuts, add extra chocolate. The generous amount of fix-ins help the cookies stay thick.

**lnstead of rolling the cookie dough smooth, leave it rough and pieced together for a more rustic look.
