Chilling the dough is key to keeping these cookies from spreading. Make sure the dough is firm before baking, and space the cookies well on the sheet.

You can either eat the mug cake directly in the mug (especially if your goal is to use the fewest dishes possible!) or scoop it out with a large spoon and serve it on a plate. Plating the cake makes it especially easy to add ice cream, which is always worth the effort.

A slice of blue velvet cake can stand alone as a dessert. You can gild the lily with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate or raspberry sauce.

Sweet cravings, begone: This free-form plum tart is done in only 35 minutes. It's extra awesome when served warm.
