Step 1

Line two baking trays with baking or parchment paper. Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugars using an electric beater for 1-2 minutes or until pale and creamy.

Step 3

Add vanilla and egg and beat until combined. Sift in flour, baking soda and salt, if using, and mix to combine. Add chocolate chips and sprinkles.

Step 4

Use a cookie scoop to roll balls of dough in your hands and place them onto your prepared trays, leaving room for the cookies to spread out.

Step 5

Bake for approximately 11-12 minutes or until golden brown on the edges. Press a few extra chocolate chips on top. Carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
