Description
This microwave chocolate chip cookie is soft, gooey, and perfectly portioned for one. It comes together in minutes for a warm, comforting dessert without turning on the oven.
Ingredients
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
A pinch of salt
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a small microwave-safe mug or bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Gently press the dough into the bottom of the mug or bowl so it spreads out evenly.
- Microwave on high for 50 to 70 seconds, checking at 50 seconds for a gooey center. Avoid overcooking, as the cookie will continue to firm up while cooling.
- Let cool for 1 to 2 minutes before enjoying directly from the mug or transferring to a plate.
Notes
For a richer flavor, substitute mini chocolate chips with dark chocolate chunks.
Add 1 tablespoon of chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture.
Increase brown sugar slightly and reduce granulated sugar for a deeper caramel flavor.
Stir a spoonful of peanut butter into the center before microwaving for a creamy surprise.
Store covered at room temperature for up to 1 day and reheat for 10 to 15 seconds if needed.
