Elisabeth's Crazy Food: Chocolate Cookie in a Mug and Chocolate Cake in a Mug

I have always wanted to try the brownie or cookie in the mug, and so i decided to try them. I have to say that i learned an important thing about cooking, follow every instruction to the smallest degree even if it means making it slower. Well here is the recipe for the chocolate mud cake and then i will do the chocolate chip cookie, they are both fairly simple to make, if you do them right of course. :----)

Chocolate Mud Cake:

Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup of white sugar
- 1/4 cup of flour
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa
- a pinch of salt or tiny bit basically
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- and 3 tablespoons of water

Directions:
1. The first thing that you do is put all of the "dry" ingredients (sugar, flour, cocoa, and salt) in a mug or small microwavable bowl (i used a mini pie/cake pan that works good as well, but you have to be careful of it overflowing) Mix them well.

2. You then add the "wet" ingredients (water and oil) to the same bowl or mug. Make sure you mix them well, because I didn't and well there was a little explosion that happened in the microwave...haha (that last you want it more mess to clean up soo i would stir it good).

Here is what the stirred in brownie should look like. Pretty thick and chocolaty looking.

3. You then put it in the microwave for a minute and forty
seconds. Make sure yo watch it just in case it does explode on you. Another thing that i did was put it in for like twenty seconds and then took it out and stirred. I did this until the 1.40 was over.

4. You then take it out of the microwave and let it cool for a minute (or however long you can wait to eat it...i didn't wait but i paid for it with a burnt mouth. Its your choice.)

You can either have it with or with out ice cream; both taste delicious. Enjoy this quick and easy dessert!!

Now for the chocolate cookie:

Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Cup:

Ingredients:
- One tablespoon of melted butter
- One tablespoon of white sugar
- One tablespoon of brown sugar
- Three drops of vanilla
- A pinch of salt
- One egg yolk
- One fourth cup of flower
- And two tablespoons of chocolate chips

Directions:

1. First , in a small bowl, mini pie pan, or mug, mix together butter, sugar, vanilla, and egg yolk. (This is where i ran in to some problems. You see i didn't exactly know what an egg yolk was..i knew it was either the white part or the orange. So i decided to ask my little brother ,bad decisions, and he said that it was the white/clear part, but then he said "oh wait maybe its the yellow part!". So me being stupid and all decided to just put in the whole thing in it. At least it would have the yolk in, and what difference would it make anyway, but this cookie turned out to be more like a quiche...yuckk. I am writing this short story to tell you that the YELLOW bit is the yolk, use this part only. And when you add the vanilla, you can use more than just three drops..i used more like a teaspoon. (its yummier this way) One last thing..Make sure you melt the butter all the way, because i didn't and well there were clumps of butter at the end. So that one is important too. If you follow this paragraph form essay then your first step will turn out good!)

2. The next thing that you do is add the flour and salt. This part i fortunately did not have any problems with. It also was very easy to do. Mix the two parts together....

3. After that you add in the chocolate chips.

4. You then mix all of the ingredients together until they are combined.

5. Put the cookie in the microwave for a minute and twenty seconds or until the cookie looks done.

6. After it is done...take it out and let it cool, if you have the patience. You can put ice cream on it or not (i personally like it with ice cream better)
