These sugar cookies turn out fluffy, best when eaten warm:

MICROWAVE SUGAR COOKIES

3/4 c. butter
1 c. sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
2 2/3 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Soften butter (15 seconds in microwave). Cream butter; gradually add sugar. Cream until fluffy; beat in eggs and vanilla. Toss flour, baking powder, and salt to mix; add to creamed mixture and combine well.
( Optional - Chill dough 1 hour until firm. Roll out to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut in shapes.)
Arrange 8 cookies in a ring on waxed paper. Cook 2 minutes on HIGH. Yield 3-4 dozen.

Here's a tasty southwestern-style salad, one that I've adapted from one of those all-recipes microwave meals:
1 package frozen corn
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 roma tomatoes, chopped
1/2 can black beans
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
Pepper, salt, lemon pepper, crushed red pepper, and a squirt of fresh lime for seasoning.

Directions

Place frozen corn in a microwave-safe steaming dish with a little water and cook in the microwave for 3 minutes on High power. Stir in beans and crushed red pepper, cook an additional minute or two, if needed.

Add to corn and beans: tomatoes, jalapeno, red onion, garlic and cilantro. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon-pepper blend. Spritz with lime. Mix well, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Chill before serving.

It goes well with a side of Mexican rice.
