Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies

75 g butter, softened
1 large egg
220 g sugar
55 g all-purpose flour
50 g unsweetened cocoa powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
170 g semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 deg F (190 deg C). Using an electric mixer, cream butter with sugar, add the egg and mix for one minute. Add vanilla, baking soda, flour and cocoa and mix well. Add chocolate chips.

Place the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Drop by rounded large tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake the chocolate chip cookies for 8 to 12 minutes. Always try first with 1-2 cookies to check whether the dough is OK. You might need to add a little more flour.

Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for a few minutes, then move the cookies to a wire rack.
