Cookie in a Mug
Description
Starting with melted butter in a mug, this recipe combines light brown and granulated sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and an egg yolk, followed by flour and chocolate chips folded in. A portion of chocolate chips tops the batter before microwaving. The cookie cooks in 45 seconds to 1 minute, puffing up and setting to a soft but cooked texture.
The resulting cookie retains warmth and softness, with melted chocolate dispersed throughout. It offers a rapid, convenient single portion sweet treat made without an oven.
Enjoy the cookie directly from the mug, optionally warmed with ice cream or toppings like whipped cream or sauces for enhanced flavor. The recipe emphasizes moderation during microwaving to avoid overcooking and dryness.
The method requires a mug suitable for microwave use and accounts for variations in microwave power, advising careful monitoring during cooking for best results.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
- 4 teaspoons light brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place the butter in an 8-ounce microwave-safe mug, and microwave for 30 seconds until mostly melted.
- Stir in the sugar, vanilla, and salt with a spoon until combined. Add the egg yolk and stir until smooth. Stir in the flour and most of the chocolate chips until combined. Sprinkle the top with the remaining chocolate chips.
- Microwave on high for 45 seconds to 1 minute or until the dough has puffed and appears dry. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Best is enjoyed warm with ice cream.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe mug or ramekin large enough to accommodate the cookie rising without overflowing.
- Measure flour by fluffing and leveling to avoid too much flour, which can dry out the cookie.
- Monitor microwaving closely to prevent overcooking; cook time varies by microwave power but should not exceed one minute.
- Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream, or drizzle of chocolate or caramel for added enjoyment.
- A shorter, wider mug promotes more even cooking and better texture.
- Opt for real vanilla extract over artificial for best flavor.
