Today, on COOKING with anna: One Cookie -- my BEST IDEA EVER! See, I hate making an entire batch of cookies when all I want is one (or two). It takes forever, and then you're left eating cookies for years. So why not just make one cookie? Brilliant!
Here's a kitchen. It looks sorta like mine -- maybe it's mine, maybe it's not. You totally need a kitchen for this. I was going to try making my one cookie in a solar oven, but the sun went down before I could finish lining the shoebox with tinfoil. Oh well.
I had to use this oven instead. You shouldn't use this particular oven, unless you happen to call me first and I give the okay. Set YOUR oven to 350F.
Once you find a recipe, grab your accounting calculator and divide everything by the number of cookies it's meant to make. Got your 1/36th cup ready? Great!
Wait, what? You don't HAVE a 1/36th cup? How lame are you!? Oh. . . I didn't have one either, I guess. I just decided to substitute "tablespoon" every time they called for "cup." Here's what I used:
1.3 tbsp butter
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 small blop of sour cream
3 tbsp flour
a small bit of baking soda
like, five grains of salt
half a sneeze of vanilla
20 chocolate chips (hand counted)
Put the butter, sugars, and sour cream in a bowl. You needn't use a big bowl. You're only making one cookie, for crying out loud. Use a fork to mash everything together. Or, if you'd like, try using a hand beater. If you do, make sure you take a picture and send it to me.
Once that's nice and mashed, throw everything else in there. Then mix it up some more. Nice.
Put in your chocolate chips. Now, I only had peanut butter chips, and that really soured my experience. But if you REALLY NEED a cookie, peanut butter chips will do.
Put your cookie on an ungreased cookie sheet. I split mine into two, since it would've made a rather large single cookie. I was afraid my oven wouldn't cook such a big cookie, so I didn't bother trying. Two middle-sized cookies are just as good, though.
Cook for eight to. . . fifteen minutes (I'm pretty sure the solar oven would have worked faster than mine), until they look like cookies. Put them on a napkin. Eat them. You're done!
