Chocolate chip microwave cookie

Type: dessert, kosher, dairy/parve, vegetarian, possible to make gluten-free

Time: like 5-10 minutes at most

Amount: a single cookie :P

Ingredients:

1tbsp melted butter/margarine

1tbsp white sugar (I use half of that)

1tbsp brown sugar (I use half of that)

3 drops of vanilla

Pinch of salt

1 egg yolk (I usually double the recipe and just use the whole egg and it also works completely fine)

¼ cup of flour (you can replace it with a gluten free flour and it should work the same, although I haven't personally tested it yet)

2tbsp chocolate chips/chopped chocolate

Tools & Utensils:

Normal sized bowl (same size you'd eat cornflakes in), or alternatively a cup, make sure it's microwave safe!!

Fork

Microwave

Instructions:

Literally just mix it all in the bowl with a fork

Microwave for 40-60 seconds

mmmm... gooey 😋

This is what happens when you spend too much time on the internet viewing recipe videos. Your mind sees literally hundreds of videos that claim it's possible to make a cookie in the microwave. Pretty soon, you begin to wonder if it's actually probable. That's how I ended up here. Most of the recipes are similar and basic.

1 packet instant (insert flavor here) oatmeal

1 TBSP flour

1/4 TSP baking powder

3 TBSP apple sauce or pear sauce or appricot sauce etc.

1 TBSP toppings

Combine dry ingredients

Stir in (insert flavor) sauce (I know what the recipes say. Honestly, use enough to moisten your dry ingredients to form a dough. Otherwise, it'll get cake-like.)

Fold in desired toppings. You really don't need to measure this. Use as much or as little as you like. Remember, you're eating it. Personally, I like chocolate chips and walnuts.

Almost all the recipes say to spray a microwave safe plate with non stick cooking spray. I don't use non stick cooking spray. I just wipe down a microwave safe plate with vegetable oil making certain to wipe off any excess.

Place your dough on the plate and flatten. The thicker it is, the softer your cookie will turn out. This is why my cookie was huge. I made mine fairly thin.

Microwave on high for two minutes. (Most recipes will say two to five minutes. Trust me. Two minutes is enough.)

The instructions say to let it cool before touching it or serving. I let mine sit for an additional minute; then, used a spatula to move my cookie to a cool plate. I'm impatient.

My cookie is an apple cinnamon, chocolate chip, walnut cookie. I was pleasantly surprised it actually worked this well. 😁

pros: - way fluffier than usual microwave cookies, almost muffin-like texture. - keeps longer (at least 24hrs!) - more tasty imo!

cons: - harder to mix, the flour clumps - chocolate chips all sunk to the bottom of the cup

Anyway if you want to try it, it was basically: - 1.5 tablespoon of melted butter (not critical though, just a big spoonful) - 3 tablespoons of brown sugar - a lil bit of vanilla - a lil bit of salt - 1 egg - 6 tablespoons of flour (or 5 of flour, 1 of ground almonds, whatever floats your boat) - as many chocolate chips as you want. Maybe if you only sprinkle them on top they don’t sink? Experiment. Or put fruit in there, or nuts. Idk man go wild!
