Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (regular size or mini)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mug: Very lightly coat the inside of a 6- or 8-ounce mug or ramekin with cooking spray, butter, or coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add melted butter, egg yolk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the mug. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the flour and chocolate chips into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If the batter appears dry or crumbly, add a splash of milk to achieve a smoother consistency.
- Cook the Mug Cookie: Place the mug in the microwave. Cooking time depends on your microwave wattage: for 1,000 watts, cook at 80% power for 1 minute; for 1,200 or 1,500 watts, cook at 75% power for 45 seconds. The cookie is done when the top puffs up and springs back lightly to the touch. Avoid overcooking to keep it soft and gooey.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy the mug cookie immediately, while warm. For extra indulgence, serve with a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
Notes
- Use a 6- or 8-ounce mug for best results and to accommodate cookie rise.
- If the batter is too dry, add a small splash of milk to improve texture.
- Microwave wattage varies, so you might need to adjust cook times slightly.
- Do not overcook; the cookie should be moist and slightly springy.
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil and a plant-based milk.
