Description

This Microwave Cookie in a Mug recipe offers a quick and easy way to indulge in a warm, freshly baked cookie without the need for an oven. Perfect for a single serving dessert, it combines basic pantry ingredients and cooks in just about a minute using your microwave, making it an ideal treat when you’re short on time.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp salted butter
  • 1 Tbsp white sugar
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp milk, half & half, or one egg yolk*
  • 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp chocolate chips
  • 2 Tbsp chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt butter: Place the salted butter in a microwave-safe mug and melt it in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, depending on the butter’s starting temperature. It’s okay if the butter is not completely melted.
  2. Mix ingredients: Add white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, milk (or half & half or egg yolk), all-purpose flour, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts if using into the mug. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients into a smooth batter.
  3. Microwave cookie: Microwave the mixture on high for one minute. The cookie should look set and no longer shiny but remain slightly soft in the center, which will continue cooking as it cools. Adjust the time if needed based on your specific microwave and mug size.
  4. Note cooking time: Once the optimal cooking time for your setup is established, record it for future reference to ensure perfect results every time.
  5. Serve immediately: Enjoy the cookie warm directly from the mug, as it does not keep well or reheat effectively.

Notes

  • Butter does not need to be fully melted before mixing with other ingredients.
  • Substitute milk with half & half or an egg yolk for a richer texture.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on microwave wattage and mug size; adjustments may be necessary.
  • Cookie is best eaten immediately and is not suitable for storing or reheating.
  • Optional nuts can be omitted for nut-free version.
