Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Butter

Step 5: Fold in Chocolate Chips
- Add chocolate chips (and optional nuts) and mix lightly.
Step 6: Microwave the Cookie
- Microwave on high for 40–60 seconds, depending on your microwave wattage. The cookie should look set but slightly soft in the center
Step 7: Cool & Serve
- Let the cookie cool for 1–2 minutes before enjoying. This helps it set and improves texture.
Notes
- Do not overcook: Overcooking can make the cookie dry or rubbery. It continues cooking after removal.
- Microwave variation: Cooking time may vary based on wattage—start low and adjust.
- Egg substitute: Use milk or yogurt for an eggless version.
- Texture tip: Slightly under cooked center = gooey cookie perfection.
- Storage: Best eaten fresh, but can be stored for up to 1–2 days and reheated for 10–15 seconds.
- Flavour variations: Add peanut butter, cocoa powder, oats, or caramel for different versions.
