Because sometimes, you just need a cookie. This takes about half an hour and produces cookies.
It's the age-old Nestle Tollhouse recipe, scaled down about as far as you can go (1 egg is hard to split any further). So it makes, like, a dozen cookies or so, depending on how big you make them. Enough cookies to split with your spouse while watching Supernatural or something.
1/2 c butter (one stick)
1 egg
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c white sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 c flour
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 c chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375.
Combine wet ingredients (butter, egg, sugars, vanilla) in a big bowl. Add flour, soda, and salt on top. Stir dry ingredients on top until soda and salt are incorporated into flour; then dig a little deeper to combine wet and dry ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips (or whatever). Drop spoonfuls onto cookie sheet, bake at 375 for 12 minutes.
