Tips for making your own microwave mug dessert

  • It doesn’t have to be made in a mug– I know some people might have copper mugs or something that can’t do in the microwave. Well, you can make your mug dessert in a little bowl or even a ramekin!
  • Under-bake your dessert– It is always to under bake rather than over bake. If yo under bake you can always pop it back into the oven for a few more seconds.
  • Don’t overfill your mug– The thing here is that mug cakes always rise when baking in the microwave. You want to leave about ½ of the mug empty to give it enough room to rise. For this cookie, you probably don’t have to worry too much because there isn’t that much cookie dough.
  • Adjust your baking time if you’re making more than one at once- If you are making 2 or more and baking them all at the same time, you will have to adjust your baking times.
  • Add a few more chocolate chips and some sea salt to the top once cooked– This is my favorite tip ever! The chocolate chips will melt beautifully to give you a puddle of melted chocolate and the sea salt flakes will elevate this cookie and give it some more depth of flavor.

Can I add mix-ins to my mug chocolate chip cookie?

Absolutely! Go crazy, the world is your oyster my friend. Here are a few things that I like to either ass to my chocolate chip cookie dough or use instead of the chocolate chips!

  • Chopped nuts- I love adding peanuts, walnuts, pecans, or even hazelnuts to my cookie dough before microwaving it! Such a treat.
  • Peanut butter chips– If you want something other than chocolate chips you can go for peanut butter chips or do a half and half mixture for an extra special mug cookie!
  • White chocolate chips– I love white chocolate so much and it works great for this recipe too!
  • Cranberries– Adding a little bit of dried cranberries to the cookie dough mixture will make your mug cookie extra festive.
  • Sprinkles- Sprinkles are always a good idea. Play around and see which one if your favorite.

What should I top my chocolate chip mug cookie with?

A few toppings that I adore are:

  • A dollop of peanut butter- The peanut butter will melt and you will be left with a salty and sweet treat. This is one of my favorite ways to have it.
  • Whipped cream– Can’t go wrong with whipped cream. You can even add a chocolate drizzle to that and call it a day!
  • A dollop of Nutella– If you are looking for something extra chocolatey and rich, a teaspoon or two of Nutella on top of your chocolate chip cookie will do the trick.
  • A scoop of your favorite ice cream– I love the mixture of cold and hot when it comes to dessert so I am a sucker for ice cream on my warm cookies. I like to go with vanilla but then again you can use whatever you have on hand or whatever you prefer.

If you are trying to go a little crazy mix and match all these topping options on your chocolate chip mug cake because let’s be honest, we only live once so might as well enjoy it!

    Just the right treat for a craving! I barely melted the butter, added the vanilla and egg, then mixed the dry ingredients in. Was testing to see if I wanted to have the dry ingredients measured out on hand and it turned out well! Will make again, thanks!!
