Making cookies in the microwave is quick and easy! Here's a simple recipe for a single microwave cookie:
Microwave Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk (discard or save the white for another recipe)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (or more if you prefer)
Instructions:
-
Prepare Your Mug: Choose a microwave-safe mug or bowl that holds about 8 ounces.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In the mug, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well with a fork until smooth.
-
Add Egg Yolk: Stir in the egg yolk until fully incorporated.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the flour and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Stir until combined. If it looks too dry, you can add a tiny bit of water or milk.
-
Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips.
-
Microwave: Microwave on high for about 40-60 seconds. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave's wattage, so keep an eye on it. The cookie should look set but still soft in the center.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookie cool for a minute or two before eating. Be careful, as the mug may be hot.
Tips:
- You can customize your cookie by adding nuts, other types of chocolate, or ingredients like peanut butter or oats.
- If you prefer a larger cookie, you can double the recipe and use a larger bowl, but adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Enjoy your quick microwave cookie!
