Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookie

After the smashing success of the chocolate-chocolate chip cookie in a cup I made back in July, we thought we’d give that recipe’s inspiration a go.  Hands-down, though, our adaption over the summer was our favorite.  We all thought this tasted more like raw cookie dough, than an actual cookie.  Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing, because we love raw cookie dough around here, but the texture was just off for it to be a cookie we’d want to make again.  I do have to give some kudos to its creator for thinking outside the box and even attempting to make cookies in the microwave.  I wouldn’t have given it a thought, but it’s a fun activity to do with the kids and I’m glad I happened across her idea.

Recipe:  Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookie

(from no. 2 pencil)

1 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1 Tbsp. light brown sugar
3 drops of pure vanilla extract
pinch of Kosher salt
1 egg yolk
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. chocolate chips

Melt 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.
