Ingredients
Scale
Cookie in a Mug:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 teaspoons packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place the butter: Put the butter in an 8-ounce microwave-safe mug and microwave for 30 seconds until mostly melted.
- Combine ingredients: Stir in the sugars, vanilla, and salt until combined. Add the egg yolk and mix until smooth. Stir in the flour and most of the chocolate chips until combined. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
- Microwave: Cook on high for 45 seconds to 1 minute or until the dough puffs up and appears dry. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Best enjoyed warm with ice cream.
Notes
- If you don’t have a microwave-safe mug, a ramekin or small microwave-safe bowl works.
- Use a large enough mug to prevent overflow while baking.
- Measure flour carefully to avoid dryness – fluff, spoon, and level.
- Try topping the cookie with ice cream, whipped cream, ganache, or caramel.
- Watch the microwave closely to avoid overcooking; do not exceed 1 minute.
- Opt for real vanilla extract for the best flavor.
- A shorter, wider mug promotes even cooking; avoid metal mugs.
