After failure of various attempts, I came across this recipe. It was finally successful! The recipe is originated from one of my daughter’s favourite Geronimo Stilton series books. My reflection? Do choose and believe in the best children literature. They stimulate your children and occasionally you would find recipes that work!
Make about 12 cookies
- ½ cup (1 stick) or 115g salted butter, softened
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips

- Place the softened salted butter in a deep mixing bowl. Turn your electric beater into the slowest mode and beat the butter. Gradually add the granulated and brown sugar and keep beating. Then add the egg and vanilla extract. Keeping beating and mixing. The mixture will become fluffy and light. The whole process takes about 2-3 minutes.
