HI I MADE THIS and i have a couple notes as someone who only occasionally bakes and makes things
first off, i did not add brown sugar so those of yall saying it improves the taste: you are probably right
that being said, my brown sugarless cookie in a mug actually tastes Fucking Fantastic
it does not matter what size mug you put it in
when u are mixing Everything Else together minus the flour, it will look Small. butter, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, And egg: it will look small. it will sit at the bottom of the mug looking pitiful and smelling delicious. you will be worried about the size of your cookie. you will wonder if you should have gotten a smaller mug
do not get a smaller mug.
you may also try to double the recipe, just in case
if you do this, do not double the flour
okay but real talk, i did get a lil worried about the size of it, and i doubled both the butter (2/8 stick/2 tbsp), sugar (which i eyed, but like 4 spoonfuls), and the egg (which was 2 egg yolks)
i fucked up and added a bit too much vanilla extract and salt, and doubling the butter, sugar, and egg seems to have evened it out - it tastes fantastic, ngl
so basically doubling everything except the flour works As Well (or at least, it worked for me!)
oh, and another note: EGG WHITES ARE EDIBLE?? DONT THROW THOSE AWAY YOU CAN COOK AND EAT THOSE
try to save them if you can!! my mom is going to use the egg whites i left behind in my sleep deprived cooking haze for her breakfast this morning, so hey, no food gets thrown out and we both get to eat without unnecessarily draining quarantine resources
okay so i tell u not to worry about the size (and not to double the flour) - here is why
when you add the flour, you will RAPIDLY lose mug space. i added one spoon of flour (which i had planned to double as well), and went “oh fuck im not gonna be able to double the flour”
also, MAKE SURE that everything else is well mixed before u add the flour bc once you add it to the mug, it becomes VERY hard to stir. like, i had to put elbow grease into stirring this bullshit. my arm still kinda aches but im eating a damn cookie out of a mug with chocolate milk so i think i win
also. add. as. many. chocolate. chips. as. you. can.
when you microwave it, if u think u might need to cook it for more time, DO SO.
do not try to taste test: you will burn your tongue and will not be able to taste anything
THE COOKIE WILL RISE. ANY MUG SPACE U HAVE LEFT WILL BE CONSUMED BY COOKIE.
when it comes out of the microwave, it will be HOT. it will BURN ur mouth if u try to eat it straight up. let it cool - i let my cookie sit for about five minutes and it was still a bit too hot to eat
anyways, here’s what i came out with:
