Pro Tips for the Best Chocolate Chip Mug Cookie

1. Use a Large Mug: Choose a microwave-safe mug that holds at least 10–12 ounces to avoid overflowing while cooking.
2. Don’t Overcook: Start with 40 seconds in the microwave and check. A slightly gooey center is exactly what you want.
3. Only the Yolk: Skip the egg white to keep the cookie soft and dense, not rubbery.
4. Mix Well: Stir after each addition to keep the texture smooth and even throughout the dough.
5. Add Extra Chips: For more chocolate in every bite, sprinkle a few chips on top before microwaving.

This Chocolate Chip Mug Cookie is quick to make and even quicker to disappear. It’s perfect when you want just one cookie without the fuss.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
• ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• 1 egg yolk
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Melt the Butter: Place the butter in a microwave-safe mug and heat it for 20–30 seconds until fully melted.
2. Mix in the Sugars: Add granulated sugar and brown sugar. Stir until smooth and dissolved, about 30 seconds of mixing.
3. Add Flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
4. Add the Egg Yolk: Separate one egg yolk and mix it into the sugar-butter mixture until completely combined.
5. Stir in Flour: Add flour to the mug and stir until a thick cookie dough forms. Make sure no dry flour remains.
6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips evenly. You can add more on top if desired.
7. Smooth and Microwave: Level the top of the dough with the back of your spoon. Microwave on high for 40–60 seconds.
8. Cool Briefly: Let the cookie sit in the mug for 1–2 minutes. It will be very hot when it first comes out.
9. Enjoy Straight from the Mug: Dig in with a spoon while warm. Add a scoop of ice cream on top for an extra treat.

Quick, Cozy, and Crave-Worthy

This Chocolate Chip Mug Cookie is soft, melty, and absolutely delightful. It’s the kind of dessert you’ll want to make again and again—especially when sweet cravings hit out of nowhere.

Storage Solutions:

This mug cookie is best enjoyed fresh and warm right after cooking. However, if you need to make it ahead, mix the dough and store it in the fridge (covered) for up to a day. When ready, microwave as directed. Leftovers (if any!) can be covered and reheated for about 15 seconds, though the texture is best the first time around.

Simple, quick, and full of flavor, this Chocolate Chip Mug Cookie brings the joy of home baking into your hands—one delicious mug at a time.
