I have a confession. My impulses got the best of me this morning! I was working on my computer and someone had the audacity to pin a picture of a chocolate chip cookie in a cup and I was COMPLETELY DISTRACTED! I literally couldn't concentrate on what I was working on anymore! Darn you Pinterest! :-) So I figured I might as well go and try it out since I was obsessing over it anyway. And boy oh boy...I must have had some intuition about this....because it was YUMMMMMY!!! SO yummy I also feel compelled to SHARE IT!
You see, I've seen lots of "cake in a mug" recipes around....but this is the first time I saw anyone try making a chocolate chip cookie in one! I like cake OK...but chocolate chip cookies??? Shut the front door!
I immediately started searching for the appropriate cup to make my cookie in...and wouldn't you know it...I could only find this extra-large soup/mug! So I HAD to double the recipe...I had no choice! ;-)
So that's what I did. I doubled this original recipe from Melissa at No. 2 Pencil (THANK YOU Melissa! You are my new best friend!) and essentially created an XL cookie in a mug!
And the BEAUTIFUL thing is my chocolate chip cookie craving is now satisfied...and I don't have another couple dozen cookies laying around tempting me to eat them as well! :-) yay!!!
Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Cup
by number-2-pencil.blogspot.com
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 Tablespoon Granulated White Sugar
1 Tablespoon Dark Brown Sugar (I used light 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 (I used a full 1/4 cup. I also made it a second time with GF Flour)
2 Tablespoons of Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips (I used milk chocolate chips)
Start by melting your butter in the microwave. Add sugars, vanilla and salt. Stir to combine. Separate your egg and add the yolk only to your cup. Stir to combine. Add flour, then stir again. Add the chocolate chips, and give a final stir. Cook in microwave 40-60 seconds, start checking for doneness at 40 seconds. Mine takes 50 seconds.
Serve warm.
(The double cookie was done at 60 seconds in my microwave.)
Oh my that looks wonderful and evil at the same time! I once tried just heating up some plain cookie dough as a single serving in the microwave and it didn't come out the way I wanted to. Did you sprinkle extra chips on the top?
ReplyDeleteThat sounds absolutely decadent! I make cake in a cup (figure friendly) with 2 tsp. cake mix (any flavor) and 1 tsp. applesauce or yogurt. Mix and microwave for one minute and done! I MUST try this cookie, too. Thanks for another SCORE, Jill!! You are the best! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry for the error in my prior comment. It should be tablespoons, not teaspoons.
ReplyDeleteooooo, have you seen the brownie/oreo/chocolate chip cookie?! it has all of them in it and it looks soooo evil and delicious! one day I will be brave enough to make it! this looks pretty tasty too =)
ReplyDeleteoh...you're evil...how can I now not run into the kitchen to try this???
ReplyDeleteI just tried the cake/applesauce in a cup - just because it was quicker - very good for a bite of sweet :) thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIn a word.....YUM!
ReplyDeleteWhich GF flour do you use? Did it already have xanthum gum in it? My 11 yr old is celiac and it's so hard to find quick, but yummy, treats for her! You rock!!
ReplyDeleteOh gee. I always get away with never making cookies because I don't want all the left overs. I think I am going to gain about twenty pounds.
ReplyDeleteSTEELGRL...I used Pamela's Baking Mix. It is my go-to "flour". Works well for almost everything. I made cornbread with it tonight and biscuits with it this morning. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy girls and I are eating this right now! Soooo yummy! And thanks for sharing the GF version. :) My husband can't have gluten and I think he will love this too!
ReplyDeleteWe love Pamela's! It's made going GF so much easier....
ReplyDeleteI just made this tonight and it was awesomeeeee!
ReplyDeleteYUMMO!!! My husband would be in heaven if he came home to this!!!
ReplyDeleteThis was so delicious. Perfect {fast & easy} midnight snack. I don't know who Melissa is but I love her!
ReplyDeleteI have made this for hubby and I a few times since seeing it elsewhere. Tonight I made it in a mug/bowl and put my favourite ice cream on top. I also enjoy the fact that it is easy and there are no leftovers. I will be trying some cocoa powder in the next one to see if I can make double chocolate!
ReplyDelete(I learned quickly not to overcook, because it can burn in the middle and it's gross)
O.M.Y. (Oh My Yum!) I can't wait to give this a try!!!
ReplyDeleteI just made this... without the brown sugar. .. It definitely needs that!
ReplyDeleteThis is the best thing to ever come out of a microwave! Yummy!!!!
