Dorm life. In the day it meant quite a bit of hotpot and microwave cookery. Most dorms had an oven that you could reserve, but baking cookies seemed like too much work for most guys. Along comes this recipe (modified from Molly Alice's recipe blog) to make chocolate chip (or raisin, or peanut, or whatever) cookies accessible.
ingredients
ingredients
1/4 c quick-cooking oats
1 tbsp brown sugar (or agave syrup or honey)
1 tbsp peanut butter (or any other nut or seed butter, or coconut oil if you are allergic to nuts)
1 tbsp plain Greek or soy yogurt
1 tsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp optional mix-ins — chocolate chips, raisins, craisins, chopped nuts, etc… get creative!

1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cinnamon

directions
- In a small bowl, mix together dry ingredients (oats, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon). Add wet ingredients (peanut butter or coconut oil, yogurt, and vanilla) and mix to form a thick dough. Fold in any mix-ins.
- Line a microwave-safe plate with a small piece of parchment paper. Scoop the dough onto the paper and pat it into a 3-4″ disk.
- Microwave on high for 45 seconds to a minute and 10 seconds, or until just cooked (cooking time will vary depending on the strength of your microwave — don’t overcook, or it may be dry and crumbly or slightly hard). Let cool for two minutes--this is important to making the cookie more solid.
