Chocolate Chip Cookies in a Bowl

I know I said this is a photoblog, but hey, these are photos, right? :) I LOVE chocolate. I'm a hardcore chocoholic. But anyways, this cookie recipe is to DIE for. And it only takes about five minutes. Ready?

Looks delicious! 

First, equip yourself with these ingredients. 

Place all the sugars and butters in a two cup bowl. Use a fork to combine the ingredients.

Add two tablespoons of egg yolk to the mixture. Add the vanilla also. Stir.

Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir again.

Finally--the chocolate! Stir in the chips. :)

Put a few on the top, too.

Microwave for about 2 minutes.

Top off with some vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. Yum.
