Chocolate Chip Cookies for One. A personal-sized batch of cookies. What a great way to celebrate a little ‘me’ time. But could I do it with one of the Mix-ups?
The other day I noticed that my Oatie Mix-up jar was nearly empty. What could I make to use up that last half cup? Chocolate Chip Cookies. Now.
I looked up several cookie recipes that said they were for a single serving and I translated them using my “Totally Cool Secret” method and I came up with a good ‘guesstimate’ for using the Oatie Mix-up.
Turning on the oven, I gathered my ingredients and a little mixing bowl. (I think I could have used a cereal bowl, it was such a small batch.) I didn’t bother with a mixer, I would have these darlings whipped up before I could even set it up and plug it in.
I placed four generous-size cookie dough balls on a prepared pan and put them in the oven. This was one of those times when I stood in front of the oven and just watched. They began to smell sooooo good. I really hoped they’d be…well, crunchy, chewy chocolate — perfect.
About the time that the scent had wafted through the whole house, my husband followed his nose into the kitchen and I took my experiment out of the oven. They had spread to about 3-4 inches in size and were a picture-perfect golden shade.
Seeing my man’s smile, I couldn’t resist and got two glasses for milk out of the cupboard. We each enjoyed two warm, yummy, very satisfying cookies. Ok, so I guess sharing can be a good thing.
