Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 1 mins
Total Time: 6 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 cookie

Ingredients

  1. 1 tablespoon butter
  2. 1 tablespoon sugar
  3. 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  4. 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  5. 1 egg yolk
  6. 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  7. 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
  8. Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Soften the butter in a microwave-safe mug for 10-15 seconds until just melted but not completely liquid.
  2. Add sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the softened butter. Mix thoroughly with a fork until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly creamy.
  3. Separate the egg yolk from the white and add only the yolk to the mug. Stir vigorously to incorporate the egg yolk completely into the butter and sugar mixture.
  4. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour and salt into the mug. Gently fold and mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a consistent cookie dough forms.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
  6. Smooth the surface of the dough in the mug, ensuring it's evenly spread.
  7. Microwave on high for 45-60 seconds. Cooking time may vary depending on microwave wattage, so watch carefully to prevent overcooking.
  8. Remove from microwave and let the cookie cool for 1-2 minutes. The mug and cookie will be extremely hot.
  9. Optional: Top with additional chocolate chips, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce before serving.

Tips

  1. Use room temperature butter for the smoothest mix and best texture
  2. Be precise with microwave timing - every second counts to avoid a dry or rubbery cookie
  3. Let the cookie cool slightly to prevent burning your mouth and allow the texture to set
  4. Choose a microwave-safe mug that's wide and not too deep for even cooking
  5. For extra richness, use melted butter instead of softened
  6. Experiment with mix-ins like nuts, different chocolate varieties, or a sprinkle of sea salt
  7. If your cookie seems undercooked, microwave in 10-second intervals to avoid overcooking
