Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mug: Use a microwave-safe mug that can hold at least 8 ounces to avoid overflow during cooking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In the mug, combine the flour and sugar. Stir well to evenly distribute the sugar. Add the melted butter and mix thoroughly until fully incorporated. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  3. Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for about 40 to 60 seconds. The cookie should look set but still soft in the center when done. Avoid overcooking as it can dry out the cookie.
  4. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookie to cool for 1-2 minutes before eating to achieve the best texture and to avoid burning your mouth.

Notes

  • Cooking times vary depending on microwave wattage; start with 40 seconds and add increments of 10 seconds if needed.
  • Use unsalted butter melted beforehand for easy mixing and consistent texture.
  • Add nuts or a pinch of salt for extra flavor variations if desired.
  • Do not overcook to keep the cookie moist and chewy.
