Ingredients
125g Low-Fat butter/spread100g Sugar75g Light soft brown sugar1 Egg150g Plain white flour2tsp Vanilla EssencePinch of salt1/2 tsp Baking Powder7-14 squares Chocolate of your choice, although this is optional and down to preference, you can replace with fruit or nuts.
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/gas 5 and line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment.

2. Gently melt the butter in a small saucepan. Put both sugars into a mixing bowl, pour in the melted butter and beat well with a wooden spoon. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into the bowl and stir them in, then add the chocolate. You should have a pretty sloppy sort of mixture.

3. Dot heaped dessertspoonfuls of the mixture on to the baking sheets, leaving a good 4cm between them as they really spread out. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the cookies are turning pale golden brown.

4. Remove from the oven and leave on the baking sheets for a couple of minutes to firm up. Then carefully lift the baking parchment on to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.

The recipe makes about 14-18 cookies, depending on the size you make them.
REMEMBER THEY REALLY SPREAD OUT!
