Ingredients
To whip up this delightful cookie cake, you’ll need the following:
2 tablespoons of melted butter (or margarine)
2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
1 tablespoon of brown sugar (optional, for a richer flavor)
A pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 egg yolk (or 2 tablespoons of milk for an egg-free version)
3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
1-2 tablespoons of chocolate chips (or other mix-ins like nuts or sprinkles)
Directions
Prepare Your Mug or Bowl
Choose a microwave-safe mug or small bowl. Lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to ensure easy removal.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
In the mug or bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
Incorporate the Egg Yolk
Add the egg yolk (or milk for an egg-free option) and mix well to create a creamy base.
Add Dry Ingredients
Stir in the flour and a pinch of salt until the mixture forms a smooth dough.
Fold in the Chocolate Chips
Gently mix in the chocolate chips or your preferred add-ins.
Microwave the Cake
Microwave the mixture on high for 45-60 seconds. The exact time will depend on your microwave's wattage, so start with 45 seconds and check for doneness. The cake should be set but still moist in the center.
Cool Slightly and Enjoy
Let the cake cool for 1-2 minutes before digging in. Enjoy it straight from the mug or invert it onto a plate for a fancier presentation.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serving: Pair your cookie cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an indulgent treat.
Storage: This recipe is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours. Reheat briefly in the microwave before serving.
