Ingredients
  

For the Cookie

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter provides moisture and richness
  • 4 teaspoons packed light brown sugar adds sweetness and a hint of caramel flavor
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar enhances sweetness and texture
  • ΒΌ teaspoon vanilla extract infuses flavor
  • 1 pinch salt balances sweetness
  • 1 egg yolk binds ingredients and adds richness
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour provides structure
  • 2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips adds a touch of chocolatey sweetness

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Begin by melting the unsalted butter in your microwave-safe mug. Microwave it in short bursts, checking frequently, until fully melted.
  • Add the packed light brown sugar and granulated sugar to the mug. Mix them together with the butter until well combined.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Ensure everything is mixed well with no dry sugar granules remaining.
  • Add the egg yolk and stir thoroughly until fully incorporated.
  • Sift in the all-purpose flour and gently fold it into the mixture, being careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  • Place the mug in the microwave and cook for about 40-60 seconds, watching closely for the cookie to rise and become set but still soft in the center.

Notes

Use a larger mug to prevent overflow. Enjoy warm for the best texture. Add nuts or spices for extra flavor if desired. Adjust cooking times based on your microwave's wattage.
