Servings 25 cookies

225 gr flour
125 gr butter, at room temperature
1 un egg
75 gr brown sugar
50 gr granulated sugar
100 gr chocolate chips or whatever you like in the other version I made, I used 50 g white chocolate chips, 50 g pistachios, and 50 g pecans
1 tsp vanilla extract
salt (just a pinch)

Add the flour, butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla, and a pinch of salt, and mix using a wooden spoon or your hands.
Add the chocolate chips (or whatever you’ve chosen to use) and mix again.
Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for half an hour. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Roll the dough into balls (the smaller they are, the more cookies you’ll get; the larger they are, the fewer cookies you’ll get) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 12–13 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
