A Chocolate Chip Cookie made in a Mug? Yes! In just 1 minute, this warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie will satisfy that sweet tooth!
My new favorite midnight snack only takes about 1 minute to make and tastes amazing. This is the perfect one-serving dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth.
We’ve been a big fan of mug cakes (have you tried this chocolate chip peanut butter mug cake?), but when we saw you could make a cookie in a mug, we were ALL over that.
Especially because It’s midterm week for us two youngest sisters. That means that all junk food is acceptable, at any time of day.
Recipe Ingredient Notes
To make Chocolate Chip Mug Cookie, you will need the following ingredients:
- Butter
- Egg Yolk
- Brown Sugar
- Sugar
- Salt
- Vanilla Extract
- Flour
- Handful of chocolate chips, (as many or as little as you would like)
Equipment Needed
For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment:
How to make Chocolate Chip Mug Cookie
- Place all ingredients into microwave safe mug.
- Stir ingredients until completely mixed.
- Microwave on high for 50 seconds to 1 minute.
- Top with your favorite ice cream, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce, and enjoy!
Tips for “baking” mug desserts:
- Don’t use a whole egg for one cake. It’s too much egg to use in just one mug cake, so we recommend using just the yoke. If you want to double the recipe, we would recommend whisking one whole large egg, and splitting it evenly between two cups (that way you don’t have to waste two egg whites).
- It doesn’t have to be a mug. The name “mug cake” mostly just references that it CAN be made in one mug, not that it HAS to be. You can use anything that is microwaveable – ramekins, jars, tupperware, cups, etc.
- Don’t fill it more than half full. You can use any microwave-safe container (see #2), BUT make sure you don’t fill it more than halfway. The mixture needs room to expand (about double the size). If the container isn’t big enough, you’ll end up with a big microwave mess.
- Don’t overcook. This recipe calls for baking the mug cookie for 50 seconds to 1 minute. Start at 50 seconds, test for doneness, and then cook at additional 10 second intervals as needed. (Because it isn’t actually baked, the sugars won’t caramelize and it will be a lot lighter in color when it’s finished – don’t let it fool you into thinking it’s not done!)
Additions or Substitutions for your mug cookie:
While we think this chocolate chip cookie mug recipe is pretty tasty as-is, you could also try these variations to change it up:
- M&Ms in place of chocolate chips
- Frozen yogurt on top
- Topped with whipped cream and berries
- Whole wheat flour for white flour
- A dollop of Nutella in place of chocolate chips
- Sprinkles and white chocolate chips for a “funfetti” cookie
