Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl mix together dry ingredients.
Then add sugar and egg, beat until creamy.
If you want to add 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips fold them in now.
Use a cookie scoop so they are all the same size and place on a lightly sprayed cookie sheet or baking sheet with parchment or a silpat sheet on top. 1.5-2 tbsp is a good size.
Use a fork to gently press down twice on each one, with tines facing opposing directions on each press so they are crossed and batter it a bit flattened.
Bake for 10 minutes in a preheated oven. Remove and keep on baking sheet until completely cooled to create a very moist fall apart with a little crisp on the edges cookie.
