Cookies By Pierre Hermé

• 7 3/4 tablespoons softened butter
• 11/16 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup caster sugar I left it out
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 egg
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 cups flour
• 1/2 baking powder sachet, 1 teaspoon
• 7 1/8 tablespoons chocolate chips

1. Take the butter of out the fridge 20-30 minutes before using and leave it to soften. If you don't have much time, zap it in the microwave in 20-second flashes on MEDIUM.
2. Preheat your oven to 180u0b0C/350u0b0F.
3. In your food processor, cream together the butter, sugar(s) and salt.
4. Add the vanilla and egg, and mix until fully incorporated.
5. In a bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder, and add to the butter mix in 4 batches (about 4 tablespoons at a time). Do not hesitate to open the processor and scrape down the sides.
6. Last, add the chocolate chips at slow speed so they don't melt.
7. Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, form balls and place them on a baking paper-lined baking sheet. The ice cream scoop helps creating even-sized cookies that will bake more evenly.
8. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges start browning.
9. Cool on a wire rack before diving in.
