Dangerous Deep-Dish Chocolate Chip Cookie for One

I dedicate this cookie to all my education cohorts who are exhausted at the end of each week from dealing with hormonal adolescents. I also dedicate it to anyone who needs Friday night to come, signaling the end of a long, tiring work week (TGIF!!!). This one’s for all of you!

Now, I know most people end the week with happy hour or a glass of wine or a tropical margarita. Me–I love me some chocolate. I need the sweet treat to reward myself for a week of hard work.

Okay, let’s be honest. I need that sweet treat reward nightly!

However, if I have an entire cake…or two dozen cupcakes…or a platter of cookies…or a container of espresso ice cream…chances are I will lose self control and eat it all within a matter of days.  And then I’ll hate myself.

But this baby? This deep dish chocolate chip cookie for one? It solves that over-indulgence problem.

Then again, it creates another problem. It’s so easy to make. And it bakes up in one minute! Yes, you read that right: one minute…in the microwave.

So how does it taste? Kinda like a mix between a chocolate chip cookie and a cake. It has a slightly cake-like texture but a totally chocolate chip cookie flavor. Maybe it should be called the Deep-Dish Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake.

Whatever it’s called, you gotta try it. It’s fun. It hits the sweet treat spot. And best of all, it’s quick!
