Big Chewy Cookies Recipe!

My brother has been pestering me for ages to make chocolate chip cookies. He says he doesn't enjoy my cooking but we all know he does, he just doesn't let on. So I thought I'd find the ultimate recipe. And here it is. I've not been feeling well and baking is my medicine. These cookies are chewy and delicious and super easy to make!

4. Sieve in the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt and fold into the mixture.
