THE SIMPLE SHORTBREAD COOKIE RECIPE THAT TAKES TWO MINUTES TO COOK
It's all too easy to open a packet of biscuits and gobble the lot in one sitting. Thankfully, an Instagram baker has shared her simple recipe for a scrumptious cookie that serves just two people.
Cakeontherun's chocolate chip shortbread cookie requires just a few basic ingredients and takes a mere two minutes to cook in a microwave. Following her instant birthday cake recipe and one-minute trifle, this creation is just as quick, easy and delicious.
You can use milk, dark or white chocolate chips in the mixture. But if you don't have chips to hand, simply break off a chocolate bar into small chunks.
