Microwave Chocolate Chip Cookie in Mug

This microwave mug cookie is a single-serving treat made by melting butter and sugar, then mixing in flour and chocolate chips to create a soft, gooey dough. The mixture is cooked briefly until it puffs up with a slightly crisp exterior and a warm, melty center. The final cookie is a compact, appealingly risen dessert with a tender, chewy texture.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour sifted if clumpy
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe mug
  • Small mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl or directly in the mug for about 20-30 seconds until smooth and shiny.
  2. Pour the melted butter into your mug and add the sugar and salt; stir well until the mixture is glossy and slightly thickened, about 30 seconds.
  3. Sift in the flour into the mug and mix thoroughly with a spoon until no streaks remain; the dough should be thick but pourable.
  4. Stir in the chocolate chips evenly into the batter, spreading them throughout the dough.
  5. Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 60 seconds, watching until the dough puffs up and looks set around the edges.
  6. Carefully remove the mug from the microwave and let it sit for a minute; the cookie will settle slightly as it cools and the center remains gooey.
  7. Enjoy the warm cookie directly from the mug with a spoon, savoring the soft, gooey texture and melting chocolate.

Notes

Best enjoyed immediately while warm. You can customize with nuts or different chocolate types for variety.
