That’s really all I need to say about this awesome recipe but I will talk a bit more because, you know, I love to talk! So yes, this cookie thing in a cup is fabulous you guys. Remember the 5-minute chocolate mug cake recipe? Well, this is even better. The texture is that of a soft cookie and it’s really hard to mess it up so great results are guaranteed. See what I mean? I took the picture of the cookie above after it had cooled down completely and it still remained soft and scoop-able, yet had the consistency of a chocolate chip cookie. You can customize this recipe many different ways but let’s all take a moment and thank this day and age when making a cookie in a cup in one minute in a microwave is not only possible, but gets us amazing results. Now, what’s keeping you? Go grab a cup or mug and go make yourself a cookie immediately. You can then come back and thank me 🙂 Looking for super quick dessert recipe ideas?

Step by Step 1 Min Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Cup:
- Add 1 tbsp butter to a microwave-safe cup or mug and microwave for 10 seconds until it melts. No need to heat or boil, just make sure it’s melted.
- Add the 1 tbsp white sugar, 1 tbsp brown sugar, pinch of salt, and 2 drops vanilla to this. Mix well.
- Separate an egg and add just the egg yolk to the above. Mix well to combine.
- Add the 2 heaping tbsp of flour and mix until no streaks of flour remain. The mixture will be fairly thick.
- Add the 2 tbsp chocolate chips to this and fold until well combined. I added some more chips on top to make the cookie look pretty when done.
- Microwave on high (mine is a 1100W microwave) for 45-50 seconds. I stopped at 45 seconds and that was perfect. The top will still be a bit fudgy but remember that the cookie will continue to cook after you take it out. That’s it! Scoop out with a spoon and enjoy. If you have vanilla ice cream lying around in your freezer, add a small scoop to this and you have yourself a great dessert. It’s also a nice idea to serve this to guests if you are hosting a small party. Microwave individual portions of cookie, add some ice-cream on top, and serve as is. They’re sure to be impressed 🙂 Note: I haven’t tried any other variations of this recipe so I am not sure the best way to make this recipe eggless, etc. You can try the usual substitutes like yogurt or flax seed meal, I just haven’t done so yet. The egg yolk adds the creaminess and moisture to this recipe so if you do eat eggs, I urge you to try the recipe without any changes.
