5 Minute Cookie
I am excited to share this recipe with you today! I didn’t think it was possible to make a cookie in the microwave and have it actually have the texture of a real cookie, but it’s possible!
I came across a recipe for chocolate chip cookie in a mug. You know how much I love my mug recipes. I didn’t have too high hopes. I had tried other cookie in a mug recipes before, but they never satisfied my cravings for a real cookie. But I decided to try it out, and I was surprised when a solid cookie popped out.
Not a cakey cookie or a slightly-denser-than-cake-so-we’ll-call-it-a-cookie type of cookie. But a genuine cookie. With crunch and all. The only issue I had was that when I made it in the mug, it looked quite ugly because I wasn’t able to shape the cookie. Also it was hard to get the cookie to pop out in one piece. Mine crumbled in several pieces.
So after gobbling up my first attempt, I immediately did it again. This time though, I opted to not make it in a mug. I mixed the ingredients with a fork in a small bowl. Once the dough came together, I grabbed the dough and formed a cookie shape. Then I put it on a piece of paper towel on top of small plate and popped it into the microwave. And out came a perfectly formed cookie.
Give the cookie a little time to cool so it gets the crunchy texture, but after a few minutes you have an honest to goodness delicious cookie that satisfies chocolate chip cookie cravings.
5 Minute Cookie
Ingredients:
Find recipe ingredients at no.2 pencil then follow my instructions below
Note: I didn't have vanilla essence so I just used a 1/8 tsp of vanilla extract
Directions:
Melt butter in small bowl or mug in microwave. Add in all remaining ingredients except chocolate chips into the bowl/mug and mix with a fork until dough is formed. Then stir in chocolate chips. Scoop dough out into hands and mold into cookie shape. Place on small plate lined with paper towel or parchment paper. Microwave for about 50 seconds until cookie is set. Let cookie cool and firm up before eating.

Thanks for making such a lovely easy recipe! It’s the first microwave cookie recipe that has really worked for me.

I made this recipe this evening and it worked splendidly! The cookie was soft but not cakey and delightfully buttery. Perfect! This might be even more dangerous for me than your mug cakes.

These are more dangerous than the mug cakes for me because I’m always craving cookies. hehe. Glad you like it!

How many servings would this make? I’m planning to do this for Valentine’s.
Another question (but this one might be stupid sooo), won’t the cookie mixture stick to the paper towel?

It only makes one cookie. The dough was oily enough that it didn’t stick to the paper towel for me, but if you are worried, you should use parchment paper as it definitely won’t stick to that.

Aw, thanks for the hug! These are best eaten the day off. I’ve found that microwave cookie and cakes don’t stand up as well the next day.

Hi
the link for the ingredients is not working.. can you post them
Kirbie replied: — May 13th, 2013 @ 9:21 am
I just checked and the link works fine. I don’t want to post the ingredients here because someone else created that recipe and I want to give that person credit for what she created.
