Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 20 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make cookies in the microwave in 5 minutes? Prepare all ingredients. Take the flour of the highest grade. Bitter chocolate is suitable, which has the highest cocoa content. I have 90%. Egg C2. If you plan to use vanilla sugar instead of vanilla, take it 10 times more than the specified amount. Personally, I use margarine more often for making cookies. With creamy good margarine, cookies turn out to be more crumbly, besides it is cheaper.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Melt the butter. This can be done in the microwave in the appropriate mode, over low heat in a saucepan or in a water bath. To melt the butter in a water bath, take two containers of different diameters. Pour water into the larger one, put the smaller one on top so that its bottom drops into the water by half. Put the pieces of butter in it. When the water boils, it will start to melt. When it is completely melted, remove from the heat.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Completely cool the melted butter and pour it into a deep bowl, in which it is convenient to mix liquid and dry ingredients. Wash the egg with soap, dry it with a towel or napkin and break it into a bowl. Add the vanilla and whisk with a whisk or just a fork. It is not necessary to beat until the foam appears.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Add sugar, salt and soda. Adding salt improves the taste of cookies and simplifies the process of beating eggs. With the amount of sugar specified in the recipe, the cookies are not too sweet. If you like sweeter pastries, add 3 tablespoons of sugar instead of 2. Whisk until smooth and the sugar dissolves.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Sift the flour to sift out small debris and the dough is saturated with oxygen. Pour the liquid component of the dough into half of the flour. Add the liquid part to the dry part, and not vice versa, so that the dough turns out to be successful. Since the properties of flour of the same grade, but different manufacturers differ, in order to get the desired consistency, add the remaining flour in small portions.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    When it's hard to knead with a spoon, start doing it with your hands. The dough should become soft, very tender, but not stick to your hands.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Chop the chocolate with a knife into small pieces.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Add the crushed chocolate to the dough and knead thoroughly.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    The chocolate should spread evenly over the dough.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    Divide the dough into 6 or 8 identical pieces, roll them into balls. Flatten each ball to make a cookie. To make cookies, take special dishes that can be used in a microwave oven. Put cookies on it, you can put parchment on it, because during the cooking process the chocolate will melt and stain the plate. I put it in my microwave for 5 minutes at a power of 800 watts.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11.

    The cooking time may change up or down depending on the characteristics of your microwave. Therefore, start checking readiness by appearance, after the third minute. Perhaps for the first time you will have to stand and watch the cookies to understand how long it takes to cook in your technique. The finished cookies will rise a little and the surface will turn from glossy to matte.

The cookies taste crispy, not sickly sweet. Inclusions of bitter chocolate and vanillin make the taste more saturated. 

Be prepared for the fact that flour may need more or less than indicated in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired consistency of the dough. To avoid mistakes, read about flour and its properties!
