A quick and easy single-serve cookie made in the microwave. Soft, chewy, and filled with melty chocolate chips, this Cookie in a Mug is ready in just 6 minutes using simple pantry staples—perfect for late-night cravings or a quick dessert fix.

  • Total Time: 6 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

1 tbsp granulated sugar

1 tbsp brown sugar, packed

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp milk

3 tbsp all-purpose flour, sifted

1/8 tsp baking powder

2 tbsp chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug (at least 10 oz capacity), melt the butter in the microwave for about 15 seconds.
  2. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix well with a fork until fully combined.
  3. Stir in the flour and baking powder until just incorporated.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  5. Microwave on high for 45–60 seconds, or until the cookie is just set but still soft in the center.
  6. Let cool for one minute before serving warm.

Notes

  • Best enjoyed immediately after making—does not store well.
  • Use a mug with at least 10 oz capacity to avoid overflow.
  • Do not overcook; the cookie should remain soft in the center.
  • Customize with different mix-ins like nuts, marshmallows, or white chocolate.
  • For a vegan option, use plant-based butter and milk.
