Chocolate Chip Cookies in a Cup a la mode featured in my wheel-thrown ceramic mugs.
Have you ever been in the mood for a Little Something Sweet but not in the mood to bake a whole batch? Credit is due to one of my daughters who found this quick, easy and yummy recipe on Buzzfeed Food, and to Number 2 Pencil where the recipe originated. There are more single serving recipes where this one came from.
Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Cup
Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon butter
1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon of firmly packed dark brown sugar
3 drops of vanilla extract
small pinch of Kosher salt
1 egg yolk (discard the egg white)
scant 1/4 of all purpose flour
2 Tablespoons of semi sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Melt one tablespoon of butter in a microwave safe mug. Add one tablespoon of white sugar, one tablespoon of brown sugar, a few drops of vanilla and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir with a fork. Separate your egg and add the yolk only to your cup. Stir again. You will have a soupy mixture. Measure a slightly less than full1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and stir to combine. Add the chocolate chips, and give a final stir. Pop your mug in the microwave for 40-60 seconds depending on your microwave. Start checking for doneness at the 40 second mark. You’ll know it’s ready when it looks like a cookie. Serve warm and a la mode if desired.
Hon, Melissa from Number 2 Pencil couldn’t have said it better. ”There you have it, a homemade chocolate chip cookie in just a few minutes…and no mess to clean up.”
Sounds so good. I need to make one tomorrow!
Melissa, I am going to have to try more versions of this. They all looked delicious.
Hi Naomi-Looks great, I save it in my electronic recipe file. I pinned a recipe for single serve apple cobbler in Pinterest. Similar idea if you want a copy of it. I’ve found many great recipes on Pinterest and highly recommend the site. Lots of great do-it-yourself projects too. One of the best recipes I got from there was Slutty Brownies. Consists of a brownie with an oreo cookie in the middle of it and a chocolate chip cookie crust. Yumo!
OMG–both sound good! And whoever came up with the term “Slutty Brownies” should get a prize.
Very creative and smart way.WE have grand kids ,they will love this.Thank you for liking my post.Warm wishes .Jalal
I’m sure your grandkids will like it. There are more desserts in a cup where that came from. Hmmm, I better get baking!
