Chocolate Craving Fix

Today, instead of taking advantage of the last fading days of summer by going to the lake or shopping downtown or actually setting foot outside, I've been camped out on my couch watching season 5 of Friends. Unfortunately my watching was interrupted by a serious craving for chocolate. And thus was born...

No, this is not an original recipe. I found it here. But it is semi-delicious and quick enough to make that you can ignore the microwave flavor and just focus on the instant gratification of melted chocolatey goodness. Scoop of mint ice cream and whipped cream is optional (But highly recommended)

Recipe from My Happy Place

1 tbsp. butter, melted

1 tbsp. white sugar

1 tbsp. brown sugar

3 drops of vanilla

pinch of salt

1 egg yolk

1/4 c. flour

2 tbsp. chocolate chips 

In a bowl, mix together the butter, sugar, vanilla, and egg yolk. 

Mix in the flour and salt. 

Add the chocolate chips. 

Put the dough into a small microwaveable bowl, ramekin, or coffee cup.

Microwave for 40-60 seconds or until the cookie looks done. 

Best served warm
