Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Mug recipe from The Country Cook #microwave #chocolatechip #cookie #forone #easy #recipe #cookies #dessert #desserts #ideas

Ingredients:
1 tbsp. real butter, salted or unsalted
small pinch of salt
1 tbsp. white sugar
1 tbsp. light (or dark) brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

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!

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!

I love potatoes any way I can get them and have not tried these yet, but will make sure I find them and try. I am like you, I can plan the main part of the meal and try to change up sides. Know with the warmer weather it will be great to have something I can do in the microwave to help keep the kitchen cooler-that and the slow cooker are my friends during the warm weather.

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 🙂
