Pinterest Challenge- Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Mug

We all have those days where we just NEED a cookie. For me, those days come more often than I'd like to admit. I've had this recipe from No. 2 Pencil saved for quite some time now on Pinterest, and I finally decided to go for it.

Ingredients

- 1 tbsp. butter
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- 1 tbsp. brown sugar
- 3 drops of vanilla extract
- small pinch of Kosher salt
- 1 egg yolk
- slightly less than 1/4 cup of flour
- 1 1/2 tbsp. of chocolate chips

(moving from top left to right, up then down)

1. Melt the tablespoon of butter. I melted it for about 20 seconds.
2. Add the brown sugar.
3. Add the white sugar.
4. Add the vanilla.
5. Add the kosher salt.
6. Stir until all the ingredients are mixed.
7. Add the egg yolk.
8. Stir until all the ingredients are mixed.
9. Add the flour.
10. Stir until all the ingredients are mixed.
11. Add the chocolate chips and mix.
12. Microwave for 40-60 seconds. I cooked mine for 50 seconds.

My rationalization is that cookies are healthy because you always drink it with a glass of milk. To be honest, I was not a big fan of this recipe. It was rich, but the cookie itself was underwhelming. And I feel like it was too much work. It wasn't like my well used brownie in a mug. Good for a quick fix, but I'd rather make myself a whole batch!

Is fall not the best reading season? I’m so glad I’ve had a few opportunities to sit on the front porch, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket with a hot drink and my book. Right now, it’s raining outside and all I want to do is cozy up and get back to my book. I’ve read some great non-fiction in the past six weeks. I’m learning so much about how people relate to the world around them. That is so important to me. Check them out! The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism – Naoki Higashida – 4 Stars This is a very short book that I think everyone should read – particularly those who work with children. Although knowledge has come a long way, there is still so much more to be learned about autism. This book is a series of question that Naoki Higashida answers from his point of view. Interspersed is also a handful of short stories from Higashida’s point of view. It’s an i...

Book Review- A Treatise On Shelling Beans by Wieslaw Mysliwski

So this book took me way too long to read. I read before bed to shut my brain off, but I was so exhausted all summer that I was asleep as soon as I got into bed. It has been a long time, but I finally finished it! I took a good handful of quotes that sparked my thinking, so brace yourself! And if you’re interested in the tradition summer, you can find it here . 1. When people can be divided by something they always will be (9). Just think-the only thing that really divides us as people are differences. If we see someone who is a fraction of a fraction different than us, our minds consider it division. Why is that? Why must we let things get in the way of relationships? 2. All the more because if you ask me, these days the soul is a commodity like anything else. You can buy it and sell it, and the prices aren’t high (28) A popular book genre of the modern era is “self-help.” Lumped with that...
