Made with simple pantry ingredients and cooked right in your microwave, this single-serving treat is perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings without the need for an oven or lengthy preparation.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 2 Tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 egg yolk (or 1 Tablespoon heavy cream)
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 Tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: Place 2 tablespoons of salted butter in a 10 to 12-ounce microwave-safe mug and microwave for 20 seconds until melted.
  2. Mix Sugars and Egg Yolk: Add granulated sugar, light brown sugar, egg yolk (or heavy cream), and pure vanilla extract to the melted butter in the mug. Stir thoroughly to combine all the ingredients evenly.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in all-purpose flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated with the wet mixture, forming your cookie dough base.
  4. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Mix 2 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips into the dough, distributing them evenly throughout to ensure chocolate in every bite.
  5. Microwave Cookie: Microwave the mug on high for 45 to 55 seconds, or until the top of the cookie is set but still soft and gooey.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the cookie cool slightly in the mug for a few minutes before enjoying warm.

Notes

  • Salted Butter: You can substitute with unsalted butter and coconut oil for different flavor profiles.
  • Granulated Sugar: Organic cane sugar can be used as an alternative.
  • Light Brown Sugar: Dark brown sugar or coconut sugar can replace light brown sugar if preferred.
  • Mini Chocolate Chips: Mini chips are recommended because they spread evenly throughout the dough, but regular-sized chips or chopped chocolate bars work as well.
