Instructions
- Microwave the butter in a microwave-safe mug for 20 to 40 seconds, or until it has melted. Note: I prepare the cookie dough in a small bowl or a measuring cup first and then use a rubber spatula to transfer it over to a microwave-safe mug or ramekin. You can easily just use a mug for the whole process, which requires less cleanup.
- Add the peanut butter, pure maple syrup, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and mix well until everything is well-combined (wet ingredients). Note: If your peanut butter is very cold from having been sitting in the refrigerator, microwave it along with the butter to soften it up so that it stirs easily.
- Stir in the gluten-free all-purpose flour and sea salt (dry ingredients) and mix until a smooth batter forms. The mixture will be relatively thin and will not resemble regular cookie dough - this is normal! If you’d like, sprinkle the top with chocolate chips or mix some chocolate chips into the cookie dough.
- Microwave on high heat (the microwave’s default setting) for 45 to 60 seconds, or until it has set up. I recommend starting with 45 seconds then microwaving longer only if need be. Allow the mug to cool down for a minute or two before enjoying the peanut butter cookie - initially it will be very hot! The texture will look slightly crumbly but the cookie will melt in your mouth. Consider serving microwave peanut butter cookies with a scoop of ice cream or a glass of milk.
Notes
- *Replace the butter with coconut oil, vegan butter (like Earth Balance), or avocado oil
