a single serve cookie

Sometimes you just need a cookie.

Like really bad. Like really really bad.

That was me on Friday night. I needed a cookie.

What I didn’t need? A dozen of ass-enlarging cookies. Because you know how you dutifully place one cookie on a plate telling yourself this will do the trick. I just need one cookie. One inevitabley leads to two because really two is a real serving size for cookies. I mean everyone knows that. And then somehow by the next morning you realize 5 are missing. A quick calculation reveals that you, are in fact, the sole inhaler of those 5 missing cookies.

I know myself well.

So on Friday night when I grandly announced that I needed a cookie I knew I needed to control this situation.

I was going to make a single cookie.

In the oven.

One. Cookie. And not one the size of a quarter. A real cookie.

Keith found this highly amusing. Well excuse me mister I can eat a plateful of cookies everyday for the rest of my life and lose weight. Some of us aren’t that blessed.

I digress. Back to that One Single Cookie:

2 Tbsp. whole wheat flour

1 Tbsp. brown sugar

1/4 tsp. baking soda

2 tsp. butter, softened

1/2 Tbsp. almond milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix everything together and place cookie on a cookie sheet sprayed with Pam. Flatten the cookie dough slightly. Bake for 10 minutes.

You can add in whatever you want too…chocolate chips, M&M’s, raisins, coconut, nuts, whatever you feel like. But the plain version is yummy too!

Oh cookie craving…I OWNED you.

And I liked it.
