A lot of you are gearing up for Christmas baking. Personally? I'm not so sure I'm going to do it.
Some of you may think that's absurd but I'm thinking it just might be practical this year. I work remotely from home, no workers to give cookies to. No holiday party at work this year, no platter of baked goods needed. I only know a couple neighbors and I actually don't know their names. We just smile and say hi and wave. Plus, of the family that's coming over, only a few of them eat sweets.
But lets be honest, can a 31 week pregnant lady go an entire holiday season without treats?
No!
What this means is that I will be trying lots of "Two Person" recipes. I can't promise you that I won't eat both servings but I can promise it's good news for you! Here is our first recipe:
Cookie in a Cup:
Makes one mug
1/4 cup flour
1 tbl butter
1 tbl sugar
1 tbl brown sugar
1 egg yolk (if you like egg white omelets you could save the white)
2 tbl chocolate chips (I only used 1 tbl but I'm all about the cookie and not the chips)
pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Microwave butter until melted.
2. Add flour, sugars, and salt. Mix in egg yolk. Add desired amount of chocolate chips.
3. Microwave for 45-60 seconds. This is COMPLETELY a personal preference here. I like a crunchy cookie so I did it for the full 60. Brian likes a gooey cookie so his was only 45.
My mug is on the left and you can noticeably see that Brian's has more chocolate chips. Play around until you find the perfect amount. I won't judge if you eat more that one cookie mug in a night!
