A quick and delightful microwave cookie baked right in your mug, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth in just minutes. This simple recipe combines the classic flavors of a chocolate chip cookie with the ease of microwave cooking, offering a warm, gooey treat that’s ready almost instantly.

Ingredients

Base 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

Optional Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: Place the salted butter into your microwave-safe mug and microwave for about 20-30 seconds until melted. It’s acceptable if some small pieces remain unmelted depending on the initial temperature of the butter.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, milk (or half & half, or egg yolk), all-purpose flour, chocolate chips, and optional chopped nuts into the mug with melted butter. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined into a smooth batter.
  3. Microwave Cookie: Microwave the mixture for one minute. The cookie should look set, not shiny, and be slightly soft in the center when done. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave and mug size, so expect a little trial and error to perfect the timing.
  4. Cool and Set: Allow the cookie to cool briefly; it will continue to cook slightly as it cools, achieving an ideal soft center.
  5. Enjoy Immediately: Serve your microwave cookie warm in the mug right away for the best taste and texture, as it does not keep or reheat well.

Notes

  • You can substitute milk for half & half or use one egg yolk for a richer texture.
  • Adjust microwave time based on the power of your microwave and size of your mug to avoid overcooking.
  • Enjoy the cookie fresh; leftovers do not reheat well and may become dry.
  • Adding nuts is optional but provides an added crunch and flavor dimension.
  • Use a microwave-safe ceramic or glass mug for best results.
