What You Need

INGREDIENT NOTES

Flour: Use your favorite all-purpose flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour for this recipe if you cannot consume gluten.

Butter: For this mug cookie you only need 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, melted. Melt in the microwave for only a few seconds to ensure you don't burn the butter.

Egg yolk: You only need one yolk of an egg for this mug cookie. If you want to make an eggless cookie, use a mashed banana or applesauce.

Sugar: Only brown sugar is needed for this recipe. If you want to make it a little healthier, use coconut sugar or your favorite sugar substitute.

Chocolate chips: Use your favorite chocolate chips and add a little extra on top! I used dark chocolate chips for this cookie, but you can use your favorite chocolate chip.

Extra: Pinch of baking soda, a tiny pinch of salt, and pure vanilla extract to bring it all together.

HOW TO MAKE MY Microwave Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Mug Recipe

1. First melt butter in your favorite microwave-safe mug for 10-15 seconds or until fully melted-do not overheat.

2. Add brown sugar and mix until combined. Once combined, add the salt and vanilla extract.

3. Next add the egg yolk and mix fully. Then add in your flour and baking soda. Mix again until combined.

3. Once everything is combined, add your favorite chocolate chips and add a few more on top too before microwaving (if you love chocolate like me)!

4. Microwave the cookie dough for 45 seconds or until a toothpick inserted in center of cookie comes out clean.

5. Let cool for a few minutes and enjoy your freshly baked cookie!! Top with some fresh strawberries or vanilla ice cream, if desired!

QUICK TIPS

Mug: Make sure you use a medium-sized microwave-safe mug for this sweet treat. If you only have smaller mugs, use a small microwave-safe bowl or ramekin (about 4 inches in diameter).

Egg: Separate the yolk from the whites by cracking the whole egg open carefully and letting the whites fall out until gone. Feel free to make an eggless chocolate chip cookie, if you prefer!

Enjoying mug cookies: This recipe is best eaten a few minutes after it has finished cooking. This single-serving dessert is as delicious as a warm cookie. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to bring it together!

Mixing: Use a fork, small spoon, or whisk to combine all the ingredients together, I find using a fork is just fine!

Preparing: If you prepare and measure out all of your ingredients before mixing together, it will make the baking process go much quicker

Chocolate chips: I think dark chocolate chips taste best with this little treat, but you can use your favorite chocolate chips! Chocolate chunks or milk chocolate chips would be yummy too. And of course, if you cannot have dairy, use your favorite dairy-free chocolate chips.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I make this gluten-free? Yes! Instead of using regular flour, substitute the same amount of all-purpose gluten-free flour. I find that it still tastes delicious!

Can I store this? You could, but it tastes best right after making it. If you do want to store it wrap plastic wrap or aluminum foil over the mug and store it in the fridge or at room temperature for a few days.

Can I add more toppings to this cookie? Of course! Feel free to add nuts, M&M's, peanut butter chips, almond butter, butterscotch chips, fresh fruit, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, and more!

How can I make this a little healthier? Sure! Use coconut sugar (or another sugar substitute), almond flour, and sugar-free chocolate chips instead!

Can I make this dairy-free? Yes of course, instead of regular butter use vegan butter and dairy-free chocolate chips instead of regular chocolate chips

Do I use baking soda or baking powder? You will only need a pinch of baking soda for this recipe, so it helps the cookie rise a little bit! If you don't have baking soda, go ahead and substitute with a pinch of baking powder instead.

What is an easier way to separate the egg whites from the yolk? A trick to make it easier is to grab a cookie cooling rack (with the small squares) and place it over a bowl. Crack an egg over the bowl/rack to let the whites fall into the bowl but the yolk will stay on the rack!
