1-Min Chocolate Chip Recipes
Single or small serving recipes are great for individuals living alone or those who are the only ones living low carb/keto in the family. They are also great for portion control or to satisfy any last-minute cravings without worrying about leftovers. So far, I have been able to make single or small servings recipes for bread and cakes, but I have been skeptical with cookies, particularly since microwave ovens do not have a browning capability. As chocolate chip cookies are soft and chewy, I thought I will give it a try. It turned out not too bad actually. The cookies are soft and a bit fragile but not chewy. The chocolate chunks melted nicely in the cookies, so they actually taste quite good. Then I decided to freeze it for a while, and it turned out firmer and crispier. You can achieve the same result by refrigerating them, but it takes a little longer time. There are only 6 ingredients in these cookies, and they are dairy and egg free. Considering that these delicious cookies can be made within 5 minutes including 1 min of cooking in the microwave, I think it is a damn good thing. Oh, before I forget, I know that some of you will be asking whether you can use coconut flour. Though I like to use coconut flour for cake, wraps and other suitable recipes but I find that it is not suitable for cookies. As this is a soft cookie, I actually tried with coconut flour but it did not taste good at all so I would not recommend it. You can, however, use other nut flours.
1. In a small bowl, add all the dry ingredients and mix well.
2. Add all the wet ingredients and mix until a dough is formed.
3. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions or you can make it into 1 big cookie (of course, the net carb content will be higher). Shape into balls and place on a parchment paper. Flatten into a round disc. Then top with a few chocolate chips (optional).
4. Microwave one cookie at a time, for 1 minute with 30-second intervals. The cookies will spread just a tiny bit. They will be very soft once out of the microwave oven, and you could literally adjust the shape.
5. Let the cookies cool completely so they will firm up a bit. However, the texture will be soft and a bit fragile. They will also look pale in color as microwave oven does not have a browning capability.
6. To make the cookies firmer and crispier, just freeze them for 15 minutes.
7. If you wish to use the traditional oven, just bake them at 350F or 180C for about 15 to 20 minutes.
