5 Minute Chocolate Chip Mug Cookie
The perfect ooey-gooey single serve chocolate chip cookie, when you just need a treat but don't want to deal with making a full batch of cookies, in under 5 minutes!
Servings 1
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter salted or unsalted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (lightly packed) light or dark will work, you can use white sugar but the brown sugar really makes it delish
- 1 large egg yolk separate the yolk from the white, I saved mine to add in with morning eggs.
- 1/8 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste i'm obessed with vanilla bean paste, so that's what I used, but regular vanilla extract will work perfectly as well
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- dash of salt if you are using salted butter, omit this step
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (I used mini chips)
Instructions
- Add butter to a microwave safe mug and microwave until almost completely melted. It took me under 10 seconds from cold butter.
- Mix in the brown sugar until combined.
- Mix in the vanilla and egg yolk.
- Stir in the flour, and add a dash of salt if you are using unsalted butter.
- Mix in your chocolate chips. I used a mini spatula, but a fork will work fine.
- Reduce your microwave power to half, and microwave for 60-90 seconds. Every microwave is different, so start with 60 seconds and go from there. You only want the top of the cookie to look just set, otherwise it will be dry and not ooey-gooey. Don't use regular high power, or you will burn your chocolate. This will not look like a traditional oven baked cookie, so be careful not to over microwave your dessert.
- Enjoy your not-so-hard work! I added a tiny bit of ice-cream to mine. (Be careful, the cookie will be HOT when it first comes out of the microwave, so don't burn yourself!)
