Instructions
Preheat the oven to 190°C/180°C/gas mark 5. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
Beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Stir in the chocolate.
Sift in the flour and beat into the mixture until well combined.
Place round spoonfuls of the mixture onto baking trays, leaving room for the cookies to spread while baking. Shape each mound into a circle.

Best eaten on the day they are made.
