Chocolate Chip Cookies

A heaping cup of all-purpose flour
One-half spoonful of salt
A small spoonful of baking powder
A stick of cold salted butter
One-third cup of brown sugar
One-third cup of white sugar
A spoonful of corn syrup
An egg
A splash of vanilla
A cup of chocolate chips

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk the flour, salt and baking powder together. Set aside.
Cream the cold butter and sugars together by beating them until they’re smooth in a stand mixer. If you don’t have a stand mixer beat vigorously by hand in a large mixing bowl or combine them in a food processor. Add the corn syrup, egg and vanilla and continue beating until well combined. Scrape down the bowl and gradually add the flour mix, beating just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and any optional nuts with a spoon.  

Using a spoon scoop out a ball of the dough and drop onto a lightly greased cookie tray. Flatten slightly. Repeat leaving lots of room in between the balls for the cookies to expand. Bake for ten to twelve minutes. Cool for two minutes on the cookie sheet then remove and cool further.
