Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg yolk discard the egg white
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 pinch salt
  • to taste Chocolate chips optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by melting the butter in a microwave-safe mug for about 20-30 seconds, ensuring it doesn't bubble over.
  2. Add both the sugar and brown sugar to the mug, along with the vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  3. Crack in the egg yolk and mix until everything is fully integrated.
  4. Gradually add the flour and a pinch of salt, folding them into the mixture carefully.
  5. If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips on top and give a quick stir.
  6. Microwave the mug cookie for about 40-60 seconds, checking for doneness. The center should still be soft but not liquid.
  7. Allow it to cool slightly before enjoying, optionally topped with whipped cream or ice cream.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, consider using coconut oil instead of butter. Keep an eye on the cooking time, as microwave wattages vary; add time in 10-second increments if necessary. Store any leftovers for up to two days in an airtight container; reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
