I feel like I should apologize in advance for this post…  because after discovering this little trick, it’s hard to avoid the temptation to make a cookie!

This recipe originally calls for butter and eggs, so I’ll be giving you two versions: regular and dairy free (because my little boy has crazy allergies.)

It should look like regular cookie dough before microwaving.

Normal Cookie

• 1 TBSP butter
• 1 TBSP granulated sugar
• 1 TBSP brown sugar
• 1 egg yoke (just the yoke–the white will make it rise too much)
• 3 drops of vanilla
• a pinch of salt
• 1/4 scant* cup of flour
• a handful of chocolate chips

Start with melted butter.  Add the two sugars, stir.  Add the egg yoke, vanilla, and salt, and stir again.  Add flour, and–you guessed it–stir some more.  Add the chocolate chips, and stir for a final time.  Microwave for 40-60 seconds.

Cameron’s Cookie

• 1 TBSP olive oil
• 1 TBSP granulated sugar
• 1 TBSP brown sugar
• 2 TBSP water
• 3 drops of vanilla
• a pinch of salt
• 1/4 scant* cup of flour
• a handful of chocolate chips

Make in the same fashion as a normal cookie.  Still tastes great!

*Scant=not quite full
