Gentler, Easier, Microwave Brownie

This brownie, unlike the last one, does not punch you in the taste buds.  It caresses you.  Teases you.  Leads you to your favorite movie, comfortable pants, and a cozy spot on the sofa.  It is the light cousin of that dark brownie.

Ingredients:
2 tbsp. butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla (give or take. I always eyeball it)
2 tbsp. cocoa powder, or 3 heaping disposable spoons
1/4 cup all purpose flour
up to 3 tbsp. chocolate chips, if desired

Directions:
Put butter and brown sugar in microwave safe cup and heat on high 30-45 seconds, or until butter is melted.  Stir with fork.  Mix in egg and vanilla, then cocoa and flour.  Fold in the chocolate chips, if you're using them.  Microwave 1 to 1 1/2 minutes (if you overcook, it gets a little tough and rubbery, but still tasty)
