Ingredients
  

For the cookie
  • 1 tablespoon butter Melted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
  • a pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by using a microwave-safe mug to melt the butter. Heat it in the microwave for about 20 seconds or until fully melted.
  2. Add both granulated and brown sugar to the melted butter. Stir until well combined.
  3. Incorporate the vanilla extract and egg yolk (discard the egg white). Whisk together until smooth.
  4. Slowly add the all-purpose flour and salt to your mug mixture. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and free of flour clumps.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips, gently mixing them into the cookie dough.
  6. Place your mug in the microwave and cook for about 30-40 seconds, ensuring the cookie is slightly firm to the touch but still soft in the center.
  7. Let the cookie cool for a minute before indulging.

Notes

For a vegan option, substitute the butter with coconut oil and the egg yolk with a tablespoon of applesauce. If you have leftovers, store in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Avoid adding too much flour for a gooey center.
