Ingredients You'll Need
This recipe calls for basic baking ingredients. You'll need all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and chocolate chips. Yes, that's it! No egg needed — the milk and melted butter provide enough moisture.
🛒 Ingredients Checklist
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp packed brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tbsp chocolate chips
How to Make a Mug Cookie in 1 Minute
Making this mug cookie is incredibly simple. Start by melting the butter in a microwave-safe mug (about 30 seconds should do). Then stir in the sugars, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Add the flour, salt, and chocolate chips, and mix until just combined. Microwave on high for 45–60 seconds. The cookie will puff up and look slightly underdone in the center — that's perfect. Let it cool for a minute before digging in.

💡 Pro Tips
- •Use a standard 12-ounce mug to prevent overflow during microwaving.
- •If your microwave runs hot, start with 45 seconds and check — you can always add 10 more seconds.
- •For a gooey cookie, slightly underbake it. The residual heat will finish cooking it.

Pro Tips for the Best Mug Cookie
Pro Cooking Tip
Always let your mug cookie cool for at least 1 minute after microwaving. Not only does it prevent burning your tongue, but the texture firms up slightly, giving you that perfect chewy bite. And if you want an extra gooey center, top the warm cookie with a few extra chocolate chips right after it comes out of the microwave.
Variations to Try
Feel free to customize this mug cookie! Use white chocolate chips, dark chocolate, peanut butter chips, or even butterscotch. Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder for a chocolate version. For a healthier twist, swap the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour and reduce the sugar to 2 tablespoons. You can also add chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a dollop of nutella on top before microwaving.
Serving Suggestions
This mug cookie is delicious on its own, but you can take it to the next level. Top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or a sprinkle of sea salt. Pair it with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of coffee for the ultimate cozy treat. It's also the perfect dessert to make with kids — they love watching it puff up in the microwave!
