Nothing beats a warm cookie, but sometimes you don't have the time to bake off an entire batch - that's when the microwave is the perfect shortcut. Mixed right in a mug, this cookie comes together in only a couple of minutes. Since it makes a single serving, the recipe uses an egg yolk instead of an entire egg to help bind the dough and make it tender and chewy. Play around with the mix-ins; from classic chocolate chips to birthday sprinkles, you can't go wrong. It's especially good when topped with a scoop of ice cream.

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg yolk
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pinch kosher salt
2 tablespoons mix-ins, such chocolate chips, sprinkles, chopped nuts or dried fruit
Flaky sea salt, optional
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Microwave the butter on high in a small microwave-safe mug until melted, 20 to 35 seconds. Tilt the mug so that the butter greases the sides. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract and egg yolk and mix with a fork until combined. Add the flour and salt and mix until just combined, then fold in the desired mix-ins. Top with the sea salt, if using. Microwave on high until the cookie is puffed and springs back when gently pressed, 60 to 75 seconds. Let sit for 1 minute before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
