Dessert Friday: Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Cup

Pinspiration: http://pinterest.com/pin/185210603398519455/

And so begins my unintentional series of "single serving desserts". I just can't stop because they're so easy and are exactly what I'm craving.

I also may or may not have bought 4 ramekins with the purpose of making individual dessert servings. Don't judge me. They were only $1 each at Tuesday Morning.

Assemble your ingredients - butter, white sugar, dark brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, egg yolk, all purpose flour, semi sweet chocolate chips

My egg is light blue... not weird or old or rotten. :-)

Melt butter in the microwave. Butter should just be melted, not boiling. Add sugars, vanilla and salt. Stir to combine.

Add the egg yolk. Stir. Add flour. Stir.

Add chocolate chips and stir again.

Cook in microwave (on high) 40-60 seconds.

Eat. I liked mine with milk.

Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Cup

1 T butter
1 T granulated white sugar
1 T firmly packed dark brown sugar
3 drops vanilla extract
Small pinch of kosher salt (I used sea salt)
1 egg yolk
Scant ¼ c of all-purpose flour
2 heaping T of semi sweet chocolate chips (or as many as you want!)

1. Spray ramekin with cooking spray (I didn't do this because it wasn't in the original instructions and the ramekin was difficult to wash).
2. Melt butter in the microwave. Butter should just be melted, not boiling.
3. Add sugars, vanilla and salt. Stir to combine.
4. Separate your egg and add the yolk only to your cup. Stir to combine.
5. Add flour, then stir again.
6. Add the chocolate chips, and give a final stir. Now your mixture will look like cookie dough.
7. Cook in microwave 40-60 seconds, start checking at 40 seconds. Do not cook past one minute, just like a regular cookie, this will continue cooking as it cools. If the cookie is dry or cake like, try less time.
8. Serve warm, especially with a large glass of milk.

Review:

I think, so far, this is my favorite of all of the single serving desserts.

If you don't know what to do with the egg white and you don't want to waste it, I suggest making these:
