Microwave Chocolate Chip Cookie Mug

This Microwave Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Mug recipe uses just a few simple ingredients and cooks in a mug right in the microwave. Ready start to finish in under 5 minutes and is perfect for a single serving dessert.

Ready to be topped with some ice-cream or maybe served with a glass of milk. Some of my other favorite mug cake or cookie recipes are this Sugar Cookie Mug, Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Mug, and this 3-Ingredient Nutella Mug Cake.

Why I love this recipe:

• Ready in Minutes - It takes only a minute to mix up the chocolate chip cookie batter and then just a minute to 'bake' in the microwave
• Single Serving Dessert - I love making mug desserts when I'm craving something sweet but don't want to make a whole batch. For a single-serve oven treat, try this Single Serve Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe!
• Chocolate Chip Cookie Flavor - The texture of this recipe is going to be softer and chewier than a cookie baked in the oven but the flavor is just like your favorite chocolate chip cookie! For another cookie in a mug inspired recipe, try this Oreo Mug Cake.

Ingredients:

• Butter - used unsalted butter, but you can use salted butter an omit the added salt
• White Granulated Sugar
• Brown Sugar - light or dark works!
• Salt - just a pinch, omit if using salted butter.
• Vanilla Extract - super important to add flavor!
• Egg Yolk - I love to save the egg white and use in my breakfast the next morning
• All-Purpose Flour
• Chocolate Chips - You can use traditional semi-sweet chocolate chips or swap in another kind like milk, dark, or mini.

Recipe Tips

• Don't Over Cook - To make sure your mug cookie stays soft, you don't want to over cook. I recommend checking it earlier in the cook time, because you can always microwave longer.
• Any Microwave Safe Dish Can Be Used - This recipe doesn't have to be made in a mug. You could use another dish like a ramekin or even small bowl - just keep in mind that using a different size may impact the microwave cook time.
