Chocolate Chip cookie in a jar

I love baking. LOVEEEE it. the only thing i don't like is how many dishes pile up when you bake (seriously, like 6-10 dishes for one batch of cookies!? ick!). Plus, I don't love shoving 2,000 calories into my body in a half hour (oh wait yes, i do love that). But i really love sweets. and I HAVE to eat something sweet at night after dinner. Jon does not understand this, but ohh man I love sweets. mmm. So instead of spending an hour making cookies tonight like I wanted to, i decided to make a chocolate chip cookie in a mug. Oh yes. It was delish. and it was just for me! (don't worry, I shared. kind of. one bite. he didn't want one!). Perfect portion and so delicious. So i want to share this yumminess:

• 1 Tablespoon Butter
• 1 Tablespoon Granulated White 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 or save for different recipe)
• Scant ¼ of All Purpose Flour (slightly less than ¼ of a cup)
• 2 heaping tablespoons of Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions:

melt butter in mug. I would say maybe add another 1/2 tbsp as mine was not enough.

mix in sugars, vanilla, and salt. add egg yolk. mix. add flour, and as many chocolate chips, sprinkles, etc, as you'd like. Microwave for 45-60 seconds. Add ice cream. or whipped cream. I don't care what you add, just make it already!

It's definitely not the real thing, but it sure hits the chocolate spot. don't overcook or it will be dry.

P.s. I would blog about my life but there's nothing blog worthy. So I'll get back to it in a few days after I teach my first P.E lesson
