Easiest Ever Cookies
"ONE ingredient, a microwave and a bowl ! Thats all you need to make these ;)
I used the chocolate chips to make Recipezaar let me publish it.You can use them, or any other garnish you want - or none! Thats' how I like mine.
This is great to do with kids because it is SO easy and there isn't any tricky measuring, delicate ingredients or boring waiting time.
It still tastes healthy and homemade because of the oatiness, even with no effort on your part."
- Ready In:
- 9mins
- Ingredients:
- 2
- Serves:
-
12
ingredients
- 5 granola bars (simpler is better-I like Uncle Tobys' plain choc chip)
- 12 chocolate chips (optional)
directions
- Lay out the granola bars on a cookie tray. Microwave them for three to four minutes. NOTE: Make sure they don't burn! They should be slightly flatter than before, but no darker, and when you pick them up they should be quite hot and very malleable.
- As soon as the microwave beeps, QUICKLY pick up the granola bars (I use kitchen paper towels so as not to burn myself!) and transfer them into a bowl.
- Take pieces of "dough" from the bowl and put them on a tray (or just a large plate), then shape them into small, round cookies. NOTE: they'll stick to paper so don't make that mistake!
- Press a chocolate chip into the top of each one.
- Leave them to cool - about 5 minutes.
- Enjoy your homemade granola cookies!

Me at Christmas , eyeing the mince pies , muaharhar.
I'm sixteen years old and love to cook. Seriosuly , I always bug my mum when she's coming home - " Can I boil an egg ? Do you want me to put on the pasta ? " etc - and I have little tradition where I cook a complete dinner once a fortnight. Thats' generally what I review recipes for as I don't get a chance to cook the rest of the time :(
Since I live in Hong Kong, I don't have access to a lot of the stuff most Recipezaar-ers in the US do , so I spend a lot of time filtering out refrigerated buttermilk biscuits , frozen pie shells, pastry flour and all those instant mixes >< Its' not just that I live in Hong Kong though , my pantry (physically impossible in a two-bedroom flat, but there in mind and spirit) is small.
What I always have in the kitchen : plain flour, self-raising flour, sugar, cocoa, pasta, canned beans, canned tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, garlic, onion, some kind of cheese, low-fat yogurt, low-fat milk, water, frozen berries, muesli.
I guess a love of food is born in as I'm half-Italian. I go to Sicily every summer and its so different from here - there is this ...respect for food. I LOVE IT
The other half of me has an ex-baking grandma ( she stopped after she had no-one to fatten up ) and I think I got a bit of that too , I absolutely ADORE making cakes, cookies,muffins but I hate having them around the house . I mulled over the idea of selling my baked stuff but in the end decided I'd probably get arrested for hawking and no-one would know what I was doing anyway.
My rating system -
***** Perfect. this is for whatever the recipe claims to be, i.e. if a recipe a simple,quick, economic stew I won't give it *** for not being finicky or delicate. These are often foolproof, too :)
**** Almost perfect, but there was something missing.
*** All right . Not a bad recipe, but I didn't like it.
** Not enjoyable, but with some spark or facet with merit.
* Godawful. SORRY !
