Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preparation

1. Place the rack in the centre of the oven.
2. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
3. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
4. In a bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder and salt.
5. In another bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and brown sugar. Add the egg and vanilla and then beat until smooth. Use the mixer at low speed or a wooden spoon to fold in the dry ingredients and chocolate chips.
6. Use a spoon to place 30 ml (2 tbsp) of cookie dough onto the sheet, leaving about 5 cm (2 in.) between each cookie, and then gently flatten them with your fingertips.
