You know those nights where you're exhausted from the week, watching Chocolat on a nice comfy couch, and suddenly craving just a quick little dessert to follow your dinner?
Maybe I should've generalized that scenario a bit more, but I'm sure you can relate to the sentiment of wanting a small homemade goodie without having to create a whole batch of sweets.
While it was tempting for me to simply pop a few (probably several) semisweet chocolate chips in my mouth, I decided to give a "single serving chocolate chip cookie" recipe a try. No risk of munching on a dozen cookies? No need for multiple large mixing bowls? No lengthy preparation time? Yeah. I'm in.
I found a recipe online that didn't require eggs. I hate when a small serving recipe asks you to use "1/4 of an egg." If I'm too tired to bake more than one cookie, I'm clearly too drained to meticulously separate a goopy egg. If I'm too frugal to go out and buy a cookie, I'm clearly too cheap to waste 3/4 of an egg. (Those reasons made sense in my head, just pretend they make sense in yours too.)
The cookie was yummy, but it did taste more like a muffin or bread than a cookie. If I did it again, I would use a different recipe, probably one that uses eggs not water (umm disregard rant above?). The texture was not my favorite, but if you're in the mood for a muffiny treat, go for it!
I must've gone a little overboard with the chocolate chips because this baby was oozing chocolate inside. Nommmm.
Who says one is the loneliest number? I say it's the yummiest.
