Description

Enjoy a quick and delicious single-serving chocolate chip cookie made right in your mug. This easy microwave recipe combines rich butter, brown sugar, and gooey chocolate chips to create a warm treat that’s ready in minutes—perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without the wait or mess of traditional baking.

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

  1. Melt the butter: Place the unsalted butter in an 8-ounce (120-ml) mug and microwave on high for about 30 seconds until melted.
  2. 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.
  3. Add egg yolk: Incorporate the egg yolk into the mixture and stir until the batter is smooth.
  4. Add dry ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour and a pinch of baking soda until fully combined.
  5. 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.
  6. Microwave to cook: Microwave the mug on high heat for about 45 seconds until the dough puffs up and looks dry on the surface.
  7. 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.
