Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 3 Tablespoons flour
  • 2 Tablespoons chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Melt butter until mostly melted in a mug for 20 seconds. Add brown sugar, sugar, vanilla, salt and egg yolk. Use a fork and stir until well combined. Mix in flour, then stir in most of the chocolate chips. Top with remaining chocolate chips.
    Added sugars and egg yolk to the mug.
  • Microwave 45-60 seconds until cookie is puffy and matte on top. 50 seconds was perfect in my microwave. Allow to cool for a few minutes then enjoy! This is extra delicious topped with ice cream, caramel and chocolate sauce.
    Added flour and chocolate chips.

Notes

For an Oatmeal Mug Cookie:
  • replace all sugar with 2 Tablespoons brown sugar. Then use 2 ½ Tablespoons flour and 3 Tablespoons oats. Follow all other directions and measurements above. I found it needed to cooke about 10-15 seconds longer.
For A Chocolate Mug Cookie:
  • use 1 ½ Tablespoons granulated sugar and ½ Tablespoon brown sugar for the sugars. Reduce flour to 2 Tablespoons and add 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder. Follow all other directions and measurements above. I found it baked in the same amount of time as the original. It's absolutely delicious! Try this one with peanut butter chips for some extra fun. 
Other Notes:
  • Store leftovers for up to 1 day in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. This cookie is best hot and fresh though!
  • It can be a touch salty, but 1/16 teaspoon of salt is Not enough. What I like to do is measure just shy of ⅛ teaspoon for the perfect amount. If you like salty sweet, use the full ⅛ teaspoon.
