Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (regular size or mini)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mug: Very lightly coat the inside of a 6- or 8-ounce mug or ramekin with cooking spray, butter, or coconut oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the melted butter, egg yolk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mug. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour and chocolate chips until just combined. If the batter seems dry or crumbly, add a small splash of milk to reach a moister consistency.
  4. Microwave Cooking: Cook the mixture in the microwave according to your microwave’s wattage: for a 1000-watt microwave, cook at 80% power for one minute; for 1200-1500 watt microwaves, cook at 75% power for 45 seconds. Adjust timing carefully to avoid overcooking. The cookie should puff up and spring back lightly when touched on top.
  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the mug cookie warm right after cooking. It is best served immediately and pairs wonderfully with ice cream if desired.

Notes

  • Using an egg yolk instead of a whole egg keeps the texture tender and rich without excess moisture.
  • If your batter is dry, a splash of milk helps achieve the perfect consistency.
  • Do not overcook the mug cookie; it will continue to cook a little after being removed from the microwave.
  • The cookie is best eaten warm as it tends to harden or dry out upon cooling.
  • Chocolate chips can be regular or mini size based on preference.
