5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

This is the most dangerous cake recipe. Why? Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night! 4 Tbsp flour
4 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp cocoa
1 egg
3 Tbsp milk
3 Tbsp oil
3 Tbsp chocolate chips
a small splash of vanilla extract
1 large hot chocolate mug

Add dry ingredients to mug and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips and vanilla extract and mix again.

Put your mug in the microwage and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high). The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little and tip out onto a plate.

EAT! (this can serve 2)

Gaynote Cookies

Funny name for these cookies but I'll explain. Years ago in Primary, 9-year old girls were Gaynotes, 10-year olds were Firelights, and 11-year olds were Merrihands. My Mom was the Gaynote teacher and made these cookies. They're my favorite sugar cookies and I've made them for years! I went to make some for Valentines Day and couldn't find the recipe!! Panic!! I thought maybe I had copied it and given it to Emily but she didn't have it. More panic!!! But, thankfully, I had given a copy to Melissa!!! Whew! And just so I don't run the risk of ever losing it again I'm putting it here and expect all of you to keep it for me just in case. :cD
