Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Pinch of baking soda
- 1 heaping tablespoon semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt the butter: Place the unsalted butter in an 8-ounce (120-ml) mug and microwave on high for about 30 seconds until melted.
- Mix sugar and vanilla: Stir in the packed dark brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the melted butter. The mixture might look slightly separated, but that’s normal.
- Add egg yolk: Incorporate the egg yolk into the mixture and stir until the batter is smooth.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour and a pinch of baking soda until fully combined.
- Add chocolate chips: Mix in two-thirds of the semisweet chocolate chips into the batter, and then sprinkle the remaining chips on top for extra gooeyness.
- Microwave to cook: Microwave the mug on high heat for about 45 seconds until the dough puffs up and looks dry on the surface.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the microwave and allow the cookie to cool for a few minutes before eating. Enjoy it warm for the best texture, as it tends to dry out once cooled.
Notes
- Use an 8-ounce mug for best results, though a larger mug can be used if necessary.
- Make sure to only use the egg yolk to avoid a rubbery texture.
- Eat the cookie warm; it loses its soft texture when cooled.
- Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance, so adjust accordingly to prevent overcooking.
- You can substitute semisweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate according to your preference.
