Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Cup

March 6, 2012 by Melissa 316 Comments

Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Cup

 

Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite, and my kids’ favorite too. So, after seeing a few recipes for individual cakes and brownies made in the microwave, I was inspired to develop a recipe to make our favorite treat in just a few minutes. My kiddos are going crazy over this chocolate chip cookie in a cup, and the best part is how easy and quick it is to make.

Edited to add: This is the original chocolate chip cookie in a cup recipe. Make sure you follow the steps and don’t substitute spreads for butter:0) For more fun ideas, follow me on Pinterest.

Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Cup - the original microwave cookie recipe
Course: Microwave Dessert
Servings: 1
Author: Melissa @ No. 2 Pencil
Ingredients
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Granulated White Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon of firmly packed Dark Brown Sugar
  • 3 Drops of Vanilla Extract
  • Small Pinch of Kosher Salt
  • 1 Egg Yolk discard the egg white or save for different recipe
  • Scant 1/4 of All Purpose Flour slightly less than 1/4 of a cup
  • 2 heaping tablespoons of Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips plus more for topping
Instructions
  1. Start by melting your butter in the microwave. Butter should just be melted, not boiling.
  2. Add sugars, vanilla and salt. Stir to combine.
  3. Separate your egg and add the yolk only to your cup. Stir to combine.
  4. Add flour, then stir again. Measure a scant, slightly less than full, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour.
  5. Add the chocolate chips, and give a final stir. Now your mixture will look like cookie dough. Add a few chocolate chips to the top of the cookie dough.
  6. Cook in microwave 40-60 seconds, start checking for doneness at 40 seconds. Mine takes 50 seconds. Do not cook past one minute, just like a regular cookie, this will continue cooking as it cools. If the cookie is dry or cake like, try less time.
  7. Serve warm.

There you have it, a homemade chocolate chip cookie in just a few minutes…and no mess to clean up.

        Soooo yummy but I did it without chocolate chips and it only leaves you with thiiiiiiiiiisss much batter so if you’re not adding chocolate then make a little more of the cookie part. Amazing recipe though I loved it so much!! Thank you, Melissa!!

        So funny! I found that exact same chocolate mug cake recipe on Pinterest before I even saw your comment, Mandy. I can vouch for it being good, I make it AT LEAST once a week now! I usually spread her healthy “Nutella” frosting on top:
        http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/01/09/better-than-nutella/

        It feels like I’m eating something decadent and not healthy at all. Anyway I will have to try this recipe too, I am a sucker for things you can make in a mug. I found this site from pinterest as well btw.

    Just tried this and it was delicious! I substituted olive oil for butter and pasteurized egg whites for the egg yolk (in an effort to make it healthier). And because the eggs were pasteurized I could have just eaten the cookie dough raw, but I chose to just undercook it a tiny bit, so good!

    Oh my goodness! I just made the chocolate chip cookie and cannot wait to try the peanut butter! I only used 3 Tbsp of flour instead of trying to figure out scant 1/4 of a cup – I figure they are about the same amount 🙂 Thank you so much for posting this. Now that I can have cookies in under 5 minutes I will never be grumpy again.

      510, if you use level tablespoons of chocolate chips. Obviously more with heaping. Yeah, that’s kind of a killjoy, isn’t it? On the other hand, if it keeps you from making/eating a whole batch…

    I was REALLY craving a chocolate chip cookie last night. And then I remembered I had recently pinned a cookie in a cup recipe. I’ll admit, I was a little skeptical since this was my first “in a cup” recipe. But oh. my. goodness. This was heavenly! Perfect! I took pictures as I made it and shared it on my blog, sending everyone here for the recipe! Thanks for sharing!

    I like nuts in my cookies so I added 1 and 1/2 chopped walnuts to this recipe and I’m surprised how good it came out. I’ve never cooked anything in a cup before, well, except cup-o-noodles and this recipe was easy and quick. Kinda hard to wrap my head around the whole “cook a cookie in a cup in the microwave” idea but you’ve turned this skeptic into a believer! Mahalo!

    This recipe is delicious. Definitely my favorite of all the “mug” recipes I have tried. Found it on Pinterest.
    I substituted one tablespoon of Egg Beaters for the egg yolk and it turned out great. I also made mine in a 1 cup clear glass ramekin so I could see when it was done on the bottom (60 seconds.)
    Thanks for posting this. Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite dessert but I am trying to cut down on fat and cholesterol. This way, I can satisfy my craving without having a bunch of extra cookies laying around. (Translation: without eating an entire dozen by myself.) 🙂

      Hello! I think I would make sure you aren’t using the egg white first, just the yolk and also make sure you are using enough flour. Compare your steps with the pictures in the post and make sure your dough is not too soupy before you microwave it. Hope that helps!

    Accidentally dropped some baking soda into the mix. Still turned out pretty damn good, just became more cake-like than cookie-like. Will definitely try again without the baking soda.

    Hi there! This looks so darn delish…all of them do. Too bad I’m in diet mode right now, booooo! Give me a few weeks and I’ll be all over that though! 😉 Can you give me an estimate of how many ‘normal’ sized cookies this equals? It looks to be at least twice the size, but it’s hard to tell from the pix. I just don’t want to over do it once I can eat sweets again. Thanks!

        I just looked up and added up all the calories for the ingredients (from actual sites, not discussion boards). The total calories per serving for this recipe looks to be 480. For my taste, I wouldn’t use as many chocolate chips, but it is still very heavy, very filling; a nice snack to fill an empty tummy!

    I’ve tried a few “in a mug” type desserts, but have become disenchanted because they’re all too spongey and eggy. It seems like by only using the egg yolk instead of the entire egg that it might not be a problem with this, but I just wanted to ask — is the texture (not flavor, but texture) comparable to a regular cookie, or is it more like a cookie cake?

    I just tried this just now. I filled the rest of my cup up (after it came out of the microwave) w/ milk. So, it was milk and cookies in a cup. 🙂 It did make the cookie break up and mushy (like it would be if you left any cookie in a cup of milk), but it was sooo good b/c the hot cookie makes the milk warm. I feel like I need to go to sleep now. Good thing it is nearly bedtime 🙂

    Yums. I used real brown sugar, but I used Splenda due to some sugar issues for the white sugar. For those asking the egg question, I used half an egg’s worth of an egg substitute and it came out great. So if you don’t want to separate an egg and have Eggbeaters or whatever, just use half an egg’s worth of that. It is more like a dense cake or cakey cookie texture, but super yummy all the same.

    I was laying on the couch, thinking to myself… man, I could really go for a cookie right now. Found this gem on Pinterest and actually made it (I have a habit of pinning things and never making them)! It was wonderful! I didn’t have any chocolate chips on hand, so I threw in about 15 M&M’s, thank you Easter bunny,..tasted fantastic. I used a black mug and set the microwave for 40 seconds. It definitely came out more like cake, next time I’ll try 30 seconds. I WILL be trying more of your mug recipes! Thanks!

    Decided to try my first “in a mug” recipe and this was it. Wanted super easy so decided to swap out the egg for applesauce. Cooked it for 50 seconds & it was “bready” as some have said. Didn’t want to give up, so I nuked it 20 more seconds and voila! I just dumped my chocolate chips in so it was a tad too chocolately for me, but definitely a keeper recipe. Thank you!

    This was delicious, but if you’re watching your calories and fat, be careful! One mug cookie has 420 calories and 16 grams of fat.

    So… I have barely tasted it, however from what I tasted it’s excellent. It’s very barely-baked cookieish which I LOVE. Mushy with a little crisp.

    I doubled the recipe (to share) and added ~3 1/2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder.

    It is not as sweet as a regular chocolate chip cookie, but I feel like that has to do with the cocoa powder and my use of semi-sweet morsels instead of milk chocolate.

    Hi ! Just tried your amazing recipe. Being the dreadful cook that I am, I was more than glad to find it. So I judt tried it twice. first time, too much flour, the cookie was awfully dry. the second time I was more lucky but still a bit too floury even though I added melted butter before cooking the whole. it turned out both too floury and too “buttery”… but it’s not as terrible as the first one about the taste. next time maybe ! Anyways thanks a lot, I’m gonna check the rest of your website and probably try another recipe by tonight. I’m done with cookies for today !

    This was really good, but when my little sister and I went to go make it, we only found one egg in the fridge D:
    So we split the egg in half and ended up with super moist cake (sort of like a steam cake) and we poured milk inside. It turned into a delicious cookie cake bread pudding!!

    i just made it and although it didn’t come out perfect, it’s pretty darn good! I used coconut oil instead of butter cuz I love the flavor. I think i baked it a little too much because it’s a bit dry and grainy but it’s divine with a scoop of ice cream on top. this definitely fixes the 3am warm and gooey chocolatey craving!

      Hi Laura!

      There are a lot of variables that can change the texture of baked goods, which is what this recipe is. How long you mix it, the kind of cup you use, the strength of your microwave, the fat content in your butter and egg yolk, the altitude you are cooking at.

      I would play around with the ingredients a little bit and see what works for you. Do you want more chewiness? I would try a little more brown sugar. Also don’t over cook.

      July 19, 2013 at 6:45 am

      Sorry you are having trouble!

      I have a few suggestions you might try. First, make sure you are using real butter (spreads won’t work) and not substituting any of the other ingredients. Don’t over heat the butter when melting. The butter should be just melted, not boiling. Make sure you are following the steps in order when mixing the ingredients. The chocolate chips are mixed in last, so unless the dough is very runny, they should not sink.

      Try using a different cup to cook the cookie in. I like a wide round cup best, like in the picture. Finally, don’t over cook.

      I hope that helps!

    Me and my sister had both been seeing mug cakes everywhere. We decide both to make one of your microwave recipes and compare. I made the chocolate chip cookie and she made the brownie. I really liked the cookie after it took a couple second to cool. My sister burned the first brownie. She remade it and I tasted it again. The brownie was good, but I preferred the cookie.

    I make this recipe a lot… probably a little too often. So when I ran out of eggs one night I decided to improvise! I used coconut sugar as a brown sugar substitute, applesauce instead of egg yolks (1 tbsp) and whole wheat flour instead of all purpose – it turned out great! Obviously not as sinful as the original but it definitely was satisfying! Thanks for the great recipe!

    Egg people…just use a flax egg (2 1/2 tbs flax meal to 1 tbs water). That way you can safely eat it as dough if you can’t wait to cook it! Plus flax is full of healthy omega 3s.

    I love this recipe! I’ve altered it a little to make it into my favorite oatmeal scotchies, but it’s always so tasty and fool-proof! For the scotchies, I sub out half the flour for plain oatmeal, and then in place of the chocolate chips, I use butterscotch chips. Once you throw in a little bit of cinnamon, it’s exactly like the cookies my mom made for my school lunches.

    I made some changes to this otherwise perfect receipe. I don’t eat egg yolks so I used 1 egg white. I used a dash of cinnamon. I used less than 1 tbsp of raw sugar instead of refined white. I used a heaping and packed tbsp of brown. For the flour I used less than 1 tbsp of whole wheat flour. I used a tsp of walnuts and almonds chopped and a tsp of some coconut in addition to the choc chips. I microwaved on high 50 seconds and additional 10 seconds. Came out perfect. Thanks.

    Sooooo yummy! I don’t usually like dessert in a mug recipes, but this is definitely an exception! It tastes great, and has a very unique texture. Almost like a mixture of cookie dough and cake, I don’t know how to describe it but it was AMAZING. I wholeheartedly recommend this cookie in a mug!

    This cured my chocolate cravings 10/10! So yummy, especially with a big glass of milk. I doubled the recipe to share with my hubby, and I’m pretty sure this is going to become a weekly thing! Delicious!

    I LOVE sweets, but I thought this was too sweet. When I make it again (and I will because I do think this is a great starter recipe), I will cut the brown sugar, white sugar, and chocolate chips in 1/2. I also added a pinch of baking powder and baking soda since they are in full batch recipes for chocolate chip cookies. Great recipe, a little too sweet for my taste.

    I’ve done this a few times and once I had to bastardize it beyond all measure XD. Amazingly my family didn’t have plain flour, butter or even margarine in the fridge, much less chocolate chips or chocolate.

    So I subbed in one tablespoon of vegetable oil in place of butter, self-raising flour in place of plain flour, and a combination of walnuts and Milo powder mixed with some water instead of chocolate. Amazingly, it turned out pretty good.

    Just letting everyone know that in a pinch, vegetable oil can be used in place of butter and self-raising flour might work if need be.

    I found this tonight by Googling “microwave cookie for one”. My husband was poking around looking for a treat and was disappointed he couldn’t find anything. I didn’t have chocolate chips but made the recipe otherwise as instructed and threw some pecans in. He loved it. I earned some big points tonight! Thanks for the awesome recipe.

Well, 22 years ago there was no Pinterest or public internet, so I was out of luck. Thanks! I’m really enjoying the chocolate chip cookie! It’s delicious!

    Thank you, thank you! for this recipe. I love me some chocolate-chip cookies, but can’t handle the temptation of having a whole batch in the house. This is the perfect portion size to satisfy my craving without the time and mess of making dozens of cookies. My sweet tooth and waistline thank you again!

    Mine wouldn’t cook, even after twice the recommended time. I added some milk to make it seem like the cookie was soggy with milk instead of raw. The flavor was good, but I think I’ll stick to the single serve baked cookies instead, which are totally amazing!

    I, like many others, found this recipe on Pinterest and I love it!

    Tip: Remember that when you’re checking the cup, dig into the cookie with your spoon. It may still look super-gooey at even 50 seconds or so, but it’s only a layer about as thick as film. The “middle” of the cookie is baked just fine! 🙂

    Hey this is a very strange question, but if I have a block of butter, am I pressing the hard butter into the tablespoon measurement , or melt it first then measure a tablespoon of melted butter?

    In case anyone was wondering, I just tried this with Pamela’s Gluten Free Flour and Earth Balance to fit my allergy needs and it was divine! I used to eat this all the time before I gave up dairy permanently, and a year later I found out that I was gluten intolerant. I assumed that quick desserts like cookies in cups couldn’t work with gluten and dairy free ingredients, but it worked perfectly.

    It looked very yellow-y, almost like mustard. The only thing I did different was use light brown sugar instead of dark brown, but I don’t see how that could have effected the color. Maybe it was because I used farmed eggs, rather than pasteurized from the store… Either way, it still tasted pretty much like a cookie, more or less. Best mug cookie I’ve ever had!

    I just made this because I was craving a chocolate chip cookie! It was delicious! I put my batter in a ramekin though and microwaved it for 45 seconds and it came out perfect! It reminded me of a fresh chocolate chip cookie out of the oven ( I love my cookies chewy). Thanks for the recipe!
