- Add egg to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until well incorporated. Add vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl mix together flour, salt and bicarbonate of soda.
- Add the flour mixture in small amounts until a dough is formed. Add chocolate chips making sure they are mixed in well.

- Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
Other ideas
Split the tough into two equal amounts, roll into a long sausage and then cut into 6 equal circles in order to split the dough equally and ensure cookies come out the correct size.
