Today we experimented with the chocolate chip cookie in a mug, which we'd come across a while ago on No. 2 Pencil. It turned out great, and we thought we'd share it with you guys (just in case you haven't come across it yourself whilst wandering the blogosphere). This would be a great little snack to make with your little ones, as it's fast, easy, and it's done in the microwave! Not to mention, the fact that it's in the mug means it minimizes crumb messes -- bonus! It's also great if you have a craving for a homemade cookie...but don't feel like going through the hassle of baking a full recipe.
Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon of butter
1 Tablespoon granulated white sugar
1 Tablespoon firmly packed dark brown sugar (we didn't use dark brown, but it still tasted delicious)
3 drops vanilla extract (well...we weren't super precise about this)
Small pinch of kosher salt (or, leave out the salt if you're using salted butter)
1 Egg yolk
Scant 1/4 Cup of all purpose flour
Chocolate chips (as much or as little as you want!)
The How-To:
1. Melt the butter -- not to boiling though!
2. Add your sugars, vanilla, and salt. Mix together.
3. Separate your egg, and add only the yolk to the mixture. Stir.
4. Add your flour, and combine again.
5. Toss in your chocolate chips, and stir them in!
6. Cook in a microwave between 40 and 60 seconds. This will depend on your microwave, so start at 40, and go from there. Don't cook for longer than a minute, as the cookie will continue to cook as it cools.
That's it folks! A great little recipe that we were super excited to stumble across. We can't wait to try out some other Desserts-in-a-Mug. They're just too cute!
