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...

Copycat the Cool Way #2

I admit that I am a little late with this post. Things have been insane school-wise so I haven’t been keeping up to date with all my posts. Or anything for that matter. Plus, I got a new phone and I had to figure out how to get all the pictures from my old phone on to my laptop. Ugh. The following blurb is an imitation of my brain: duibqieufbijenwcijaaiojcfpo wijojndwqioNQIOENFONIONICQNINQ/ what? Descriptive right? Bear with me, I’m pre-writing a couple posts while I’m focused on blogging. I got you covered. Monday- Probably my favourite pants ever. They’re super comfy, but it can be tough to style them. I took the inspiration from a picture from a magazine (I think it might have been Glamour). It was also a spring day in Canada (did not last long), so I wanted to keep it cool temperature-wise. I have a blue cardigan that I typically wear instead of the scarf. Also, rainboots. Buy rainboots. They are the best for the icky, slushy, melty weather that is just around the corn...
