    Title: Chile-Chocolate Microwave Mug Cake
    Categories: Cakes, Snacks, Chocolate, Chilies
    Yield: 1 Serving

    4 tb (45 g) self raising flour
    4 tb (55 g) caster sugar
    2 tb (17 g) cocoa powder
    1 lg Egg
    3 tb (43 ml) milk
    3 tb (25 ml) sunflower oil
    3 tb Chocolate chips
    sm Dash of vanilla extract
    lg Pinch of dried chile *

    * You could use ground chile powder or replace the choc
    chips with chile chocolate. You could also use more or
    less chile depending on your tastebuds.

    Add dry ingredients (including chile) to a large coffee
    mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly Add
    the milk and oil - mix well (don't forget the corners /
    edges of the mug). Add the chocolate chips (if using)
    and vanilla extract, and mix again Put your mug in the
    microwave and cook for 3 minutes (in an 800 watt
    microwave).

    The cake will rise above the top of the mug, but don't
    worry it's supposed to! Allow to cool a little, tip out
    onto a plate.

    EAT and enjoy - this can serve two - it's a huge portion
    for one!

    Title: Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies
    Categories: Cookies, Chocolate, Pork, Nuts
    Yield: 12 Servings

    3/4 c Butter
    2/3 c Brown sugar; packed
    2/3 c Granulated sugar
    1 ts Hazelnut extract
    1/2 ts Vanilla extract
    1 lg Egg
    2 1/2 c Flour
    1 ts Baking soda
    1 ts Salt
    1 c White chocolate chips
    1 c Dark or semi-sweet chocolate
    - chips
    2 c Bacon crumbles; REAL bacon
    - only - NOT BACOS

    MMMMM--------------------MAPLE CINNAMON GLAZE-------------------------
    2 c Powdered sugar
    1 tb Maple extract
    1 ts Vanilla extract
    1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
    Water to make a thick glaze

    The best flavors of breakfast together in a cookie:
    chocolate chip with generous bits of bacon and a
    bonus (optional) maple glaze.

    Set oven @ 350øF/175øC.

    Beat together the butter, sugars, flavoring and eggs
    until creamy. In another bowl, sift together the dry
    ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mix
    and stir together. Dough will be slightly soft. If you
    want a cakier cookie, add another half cup of flour. Add
    in chocolate chips and bacon bits. Stir until well
    integrated. Place dough on a sheet of waxed paper and
    refrigerate at least an hour.

    Remove dough from fridge, pinch off 1 1/2" pieces of
    dough and roll into balls. Set dough balls about 2"
    apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten dough balls
    slightly with your fingers in the center.

    Bake cookies for about 10 minutes, or until the dough
    starts to turn golden brown. Allow cookies to cool on a
    cooling rack.

    NOTE: It takes about 2 lbs of bacon to make 2 cups of
    bacon bits, just for future reference. Just be sure to
    pat the bacon to remove all the extra grease.

    MAKE THE OPTIONAL GLAZE: Mix all ingredients together
    until smooth and creamy. If lumpy, use a whisk.

    Spread a small amount of the glaze on the top of each
    cookie.

    Yield: 12 servings
