Chocolate chip cookies

Is there anything you're allergic to when you go shopping? I am allergic to these words....."on sale", "discount", "promotion" or "buy 1 get one free". These words always bring me to the next level of spending. Sometimes I overbought what I needed to to buy because of all those words. What a nonsense shopper I am!

I don't use much of butter in my cooking or even baking...but I have stocked up quite a lot of butter in my fridge. I need to do something to free up the space on my fridge...something that use butter and it must be something most people like.

Well, everyone eats cookies , so I decided to bake a big batch of cookies and bring them to share with my colleages at works. This cookie is our family favorite...it's easy to prepare and requires just a simple ingredients that are always in our kitchen.

If you want to try some at home, here is the recipe.

113 g unsalted butter, soften
85 g brown sugar
30 g granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temp
170 g all purpose flour
