Equipment

  • microwave-safe mug
  • small spoon
  • measuring spoons
  • fork

Method
 

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, stir together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Mix in the egg yolk until fully combined.
  3. Add the flour and salt, then stir until a soft cookie dough forms.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Press the dough evenly into the mug and microwave on high for 40 to 60 seconds, or until the cookie looks set but still soft in the center.
  6. Let the mug cookie cool for 1 to 2 minutes before eating, as it will be very hot.

Notes

Microwave times can vary, so start with 40 seconds and add a few seconds only if needed. For the best texture, do not overcook the cookie. You can swap the chocolate chips for chopped nuts or white chocolate chips if desired.
