Total Time: 6 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 cookie
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe mug or small bowl for about 15-20 seconds until just softened.
- Add granulated sugar and brown sugar to the melted butter. Mix thoroughly with a fork until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly creamy.
- Incorporate the vanilla extract and egg yolk into the sugar-butter mixture, stirring until completely combined and uniform in texture.
- Sift the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder directly into the wet ingredients to prevent lumps. Gently fold and mix until a consistent chocolate-colored dough forms.
- Fold in half of the chocolate chips into the cookie dough, reserving the remaining chips for topping.
- Smooth the dough evenly in the mug or bowl, ensuring a flat surface. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of the dough.
- Microwave the cookie on high power for 45-60 seconds. Cooking time may vary depending on microwave wattage, so watch carefully to prevent overcooking.
- Remove from microwave and let the cookie rest for 1-2 minutes to complete cooking and set the texture.
- Optional: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and more consistent texture.
- Make sure your butter is just softened, not completely melted, to maintain the right cookie consistency.
- Watch the microwave cooking time carefully - every microwave is different, and overcooking can lead to a dry, tough cookie.
- Let the cookie rest for 1-2 minutes after cooking to allow it to set and develop a perfect, slightly gooey center.
- For extra richness, use high-quality dark chocolate chips.
- If you want a less sweet version, reduce the sugar slightly or use a sugar substitute.
- Experiment with add-ins like a pinch of sea salt, a dash of espresso powder, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to customize your cookie.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture - this cookie is best enjoyed fresh and warm!
