5 Minute Chocolate Chip Cookie

I don't where I have been for the last million years.

Did you know they have Cookie in a Mug recipes now?

I mean, I knew about the Cake in a Mug recipes and have even fallen in love with a couple. (5 Minute Chocolate Cake and 5 Minute Coffee Cake)

But...COOKIES...

Seriously??

I mean....why was I not told about this? Why is the media not reporting about this?

I don't know if I have mentioned this before but....I love cookies!

L.O.V.E. them.

Yes, I want to marry them.

If I could, I would eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner...and then for dessert. Alright, I know I technically could do that, but, I'm a responsible adult and understand that cookies are treats...not meals. (Although they should be.)

This recipe from the No. 2 Pencil blog is amazing.

I mean....I can now have a warm, soft, delicious, chocolate chip cookie in about 2 minutes. She also has a peanut butter cookie recipe that I am going to try after dinner tonight. I will definitely be getting back to you about how that turns out.

OMG! I just checked her blog again and she now has a sugar cookie in a mug recipe!

Eeeeeeeeee! I'm excited.

5 Minute Chocolate Chip Cookie

Slightly adapted from No. 2 Pencil

Ingredients

1 Tbsp butter

1 Tbsp white sugar

1 Tbsp brown sugar

pinch of vanilla

pinch of salt

1 egg yolk

3 Tbsp flour

1 1/2 Tbsp mini chocolate chips (or regular)

Directions

In a microwave safe bowl or coffee mug, mix butter with sugars. Stir with a fork until well combined. Add vanilla and salt, stir. Add egg yolk (yolk only, not the white), and mix well.

Stir in flour until just combined. Lastly, stir in chocolate chips.

See...looks like regular cookie dough! And it is :)

Cook in microwave for 40 - 60 seconds. Start checking for doneness at 40 seconds. (I cooked mine for the full 60 seconds but it would have been okay at 55 seconds)

Are you excited?

I'm excited.

This was soooooo good. You can go to the No. 2 Pencil blog for step by step photos and her version of the cookie ingredients (She used 2 Tbsp of chocolate chips and measured her flour a tad differently) And of course to see her other brilliant recipes.

I can't wait to make the peanut butter and sugar cookies.

Now I can have cookies any time I want them, without the mess of having to make a whole batch.

Oh no!

Now I can have cookies any time I want them, withot the mess of having to make a whole batch.
That doesn't bode well for my diet efforts.

**UPDATE**
I just wanted to share some other pics of this delicious cookie. I made it with mini baking M&Ms instead of choc chips.

I just mixed up the ingredients as above and spread it in an individual casserole dish that was microwave safe.

Microwaved for 60 seconds and voila!

Colorful, fun cookie in no time at all.

Oh, yeah, this time I lined the bottom of the dish with a small cut out round of parchment paper so I didn't have to eat it out of the dish when it was done....

I simply ran a knife around the outside and it popped right out.

Yay cookies!

(FYI - It was a little thick because I used a narrower, taller dish. It is more cookie-like if you make it in a cereal type bowl as it is shallower and wider. You could probably even get away with microwaving the dough on a plate. )
