Microwave Mug Sugar Cookie


I was cramming all week to prepare for taking the GRE, but I found some time to take a study break and check out Pinterest for a little bit (ok maybe a lot bit... whatever).  Little did I know I would find the ultimate study break snack. I love sugar cookies, but I would gain a hundred pounds if I made a whole batch... because I would eat them all.... or more likely all the cookie dough before I even baked them.

This single-serving mug cookie was the perfect sweet treat to keep me going with my studies, and it was way tastier (and easier) than any of the other mug recipes I have tried in the past.  I wish these pictures did as much justice as the original recipe at Number 2 Pencil, but you get the idea.


Sugar Cookie in a Cup
created by Melissa at No. 2 Pencil

Ingredients:
  • 1 Tbsp Butter
  • 2 Tbsp of Granulated White Sugar
  • 1/4 Tsp of Pure Vanilla Extract
  • Small pinch of Kosher Salt
  • One egg yolk
  • 3 Tablespoons of All-Purpose Flour
  • Colored Sugar for sprinkling
Directions:

Melt the Tbsp butter in microwave (about 15-30 seconds). Then add sugar, vanilla and salt and stir together. Add one egg yolk (just the yolk, separate out the whites!) and stir again. Add flour and stir a final time.  

Sprinkle cookie dough with colored sugar (I recommend adding a TON of colored sugar sprinkles. It definitely makes it a million times better), and heat in microwave for about 45 seconds to a minute. Start checking for doneness at 40 seconds.

CHOCOLATE MARBLE QUICK BREAD RECIPE

Image
Serve this fresh homemade Chocolate Marble Quick Bread that was a breeze to make using a whisk. Quick bread eliminates multiple steps, kneading and waiting for dough to rise. With minimal efforts, we are rewarded with a gorgeous loaf/ Have reduced the sugar a bit since I intend to ice the cake later. Am so glad that this Chocolate Marble Quick Bread turned out just right, the way I want it. You can sub yogurt with sour cream if you have but this MUNDELLA Premium Natural Yogurt I used did a great job. It is a perfect tea companion and swirls of vanilla and chocolate batter produce impressively beautiful treat. Over the years, I have shared some quick bread recipes, here are a few that you might be interested: Vegan Homemade Doughnuts Irish Barmbrack Fantastic Apricot Bread

CLASSIC BREAD PUDDING

Image
This Classic Bread Pudding is an easy dessert using a stale bread soaked in a milky egg mixture. I used to make it using my white sandwich bread, crust removed then cubed, but today I made this Classic Bread Pudding with multi grain bread, cut the slice into half length wise. Also baked this pudding in my 9 x 11 in baking pan instead of the heavy glass dish. It does not matter what utensil you choose, it still turns out great. The advantage of using a glass dish is that it can go from oven straight to dining table. It can be customize to your liking by adding cinnamon, nutmeg or lemon zest. If you are a chocolate lover, add a cup of chopped bittersweet chocolate or add in fruits like banana (2), blueberry, strawberry, raspberry (2 cup) or dried fruit (1 cup) just before baking. This simple Classic Bread Pudding came out beautiful and and taste exactly the same I enjoyed as a child.
