Minimalist

What minimalist means in the context of these recipes:

Minimal - prep time, ingredients, and clean up

For example with the dark chocolate brownies:

The prep time is about 30 minutes.

Clean up is faster because of re-using equipment. The pot becomes the final mixing bowl. The 1 cup measure is used for all of the liquid ingredients. The 1/2 cup measure is for the dry ones. The parchment paper keeps the cookie sheets from getting dirty - though I still wash them afterwards, it's not a huge chore.

Instead of using baking chocolate and adding a sweetener, this uses pre-sweetened chocolate chips.
