Preheat the oven to 170C/150C Fan/Gas 3 and line two baking trays with baking paper.
Using a stand mixer on medium speed, cream the butter and sugar together for about 3 minutes until soft and pale. Add the egg and mix for a further minute. Add the flour and mix with a rubber spatula until just combined, then beat thoroughly. Stir in the chocolate chips or raisins.
If you have time, cover the mixture and chill for 1 hour before baking. Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and arrange on the trays, leaving space between them as they will spread during baking.
Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the cookies are firm and golden brown at the edges. Leave to cool on the baking trays; the cookies will firm further as they cool.
