CAN I USE DIFFERENT FLAVORED CHOCOLATE CHIPS?
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
real unsalted butter
salt
sugar
light (or dark) brown sugar
vanilla extract
egg yolk
all-purpose flour
semi-sweet chocolate chips
HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE IN A MUG:
Place butter in your mug and melt in the microwave (about 20 seconds.)
Stir in small pinch of salt, white and brown sugars and vanilla extract.
Separate egg yolk from egg white and just add the egg yolk to the mug (discard remaining egg white or refrigerate it in an airtight container to use for later.)
Stir well, then add all-purpose flour.
Stir again and then add chocolate chips. Stir one final time.
Put the mug in the microwave and cook for approximately 40 seconds.
Note: Cookie will continue to cook when you take it out. Let it cool slightly then dig in! Or better yet, add a little ice cream on top!
Cook’s Notes: No baking soda or baking powder is needed. Also, there is enough butter in this recipe to keep it from sticking to the inside of the mug. This can also be made in a ramekin or small microwave-safe bowl.
Enjoy!

Thank you! I live alone and I have made this so many times. It hits that cookie-craving spot!
I think this might be the start of a very slippery slope 😉 Having a hot chocolate chip cookie whenever you want it could be the start of something very dangerous!
This came out perfect. Make it all the time now – thank you!
Sounds GREAT! Before I try, the written recipe says 40 seconds, but the top of the recipe says 40 min. Typo? Which is correct?
Hi David! Sorry that was a typo in the printable recipe – it is definitely about 40 seconds. Microwaves vary so keep an eye on it 🙂
I just made this and subbed stevia white and brown sugar, and almond flour. It was absolutely amazing!!!!! I have wanted something sweet and this hits the spot
Did you just use stevia to sub for white sugar and brown sugar?
Easy and delicious! The best cookie mug recipe I have tried.
Awwww – yay! Thank you Sarah!!
Delicious and easy!
Thanks so much Janis!!
Oh my gosh this is the best microwaved cookie I’ve ever had!!!
Usually I hate microwaved cookies but this is amazing
This is perfect for satisfying my chocolate comfort food cravings. Just enough for me to share with my husband! One question: would it be possible to alter this recipe to make oatmeal chocolate chip cookies?
By far the best cookie in a mug I have made to date!
I agree that this is the best mug cookie I have tried. Thanks for the recipe!
Can the dry ingredients be measured together? I’d like to make up a couple of “pre-mixed” sets so that I would only have to add melted butter, egg yolk & vanilla.
Hi Shanon – I think that’s a great idea. You could definitely do that. 🙂
