Gougane Barra Chocolate Chip Cookies

The Stuff you need
 
1/2 lb/225g of Butter
1/2 lb/225g of Caster sugar
1 egg yolk
2 drops of vanilla extract
1/2 lb/225g of Cream or Plain flour
1/2 tsp of bread soda
1/2lb/225g of high quality chocolate chips, we use callebaut.
 
How to do it
 
Cream the butter and sugar, until light in colour, we use a two prong electric mixer.
Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla
Sieve in the flour and bread soda, and mix together.
Add in the chocolate chips and give a quick mix.
Shape in parchment paper into a long sausage and chill in the fridge for 1 hour, we make them small as they are very light and fit on the side of your saucer.
Heat the oven to gas 3, line trays with parchment and slice the cookies when chilled
Cook for 20-25 minutes, leave to cool before removing from trays with a egg slice or they will break.
 
Note; this mix makes quite a lot of delicious cookies; you can divide or multiply recipe as you require.
Enjoy!
