[ Kristy's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies ]

Kristy Gonsalves sent this recipe for me to try.  She says, "it's the best".  I'll have to try it!

1/2 cup (100g)  white sugar

3/4 cup ( 165g) brown sugar

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1+ 1/4 cup (155g) all purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

4oz (110g) milk chocolate chips

4oz (110g) dark chocolate chips

Directions: 

- in a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, salt and butter until a paste forms with no lumps.

- whisk in a the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall of the whisk and remain for a short while before falling back into the mixture.

-  sift in the flour and baking soda.

- fold the mixture with a spatula (be careful not to overmix, which would cause the gluten in the flour to toughen, resulting in cakier cookies)

- fold in the chocolate chips.
