How to
Mix the butter and sugar togetherI personally mix for about 5 minutes you get a better cookie(You can if you can't wait and really do want a super fast cookie put all ingredients together and mix )
Add the egg , flour and chocolate and mix ( remember to scrape the sides and bottom of the mixer bowl if using to blend thoroughly
Split mixture into 2 portions
With half the mixture make 12 cookies. Roll into sausage shape and cut into discs.
Place on baking sheet with greaseproof about 1/2cm apart so they can spread a little
Put in the oven and bake for 10 minutes
With the remaining half put cling film out and place mixture on , roll into a sausage shape and pop in freezer for instant cookies whenever you want - just slice when you need and bake
