Making cookies in the microwave is quick and easy! Here's a simple recipe for a basic microwave cookie:
Microwave Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- 1 egg yolk (discard the white)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (or more, if desired)
Instructions:
-
Prepare Your Mug: Use a microwave-safe mug or bowl. This is where you'll mix all your ingredients.
-
Melt the Butter: Add the melted butter to the mug.
-
Mix in Sugars: Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
-
Add Vanilla and Salt: Mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
-
Add Egg Yolk: Add the egg yolk and stir until everything is combined.
-
Add Flour: Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour until smooth.
-
Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips (or any other mix-ins you like).
-
Microwave: Microwave the mug on high for about 40-60 seconds. Start with 40 seconds, and if the cookie looks too soft or undercooked, add additional time in 10-second increments. Be careful not to overcook it, as it will continue to cook while cooling.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookie cool for a minute or two before enjoying it straight from the mug.
Tips:
- Keep an eye on your cookie while it cooks, as microwave times can vary.
- You can customize your cookie by adding nuts, dried fruits, or different types of chocolate!
- For a softer cookie, undercook slightly; for a firmer cookie, cook until set.
Enjoy your delicious homemade microwave cookie!
