This no egg chocolate chip cookie in a mug just takes one minute to cook in the microwave! It’s a great mug cookie dessert for one when you just want a little something sweet at night.
Ok so I am a sucker for dessert and this chocolate chip cookie in a mug hits the spot! I’d eat it first just to make sure I had room, but that probably wouldn’t be the best impression to leave my kids. It’s one of our favorite mug recipes. (originally published 12/16, affiliate links present)
Come the new year I too am always looking to focus on portion control and this treat works great. I cannot cut out sweets entirely. So this egg free and no butter cookie is perfect for one person to take the edge off!
I know…it really is that amazing!
- Yes we all love homemade cookies, but if you’re by yourself this recipe is nice to have on hand.
- Nobody needs an entire batch and this one will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth!
Then each time you want a cookie for one you just add the milk, oil, and vanilla and you’re ready to microwave it for just one minute!
- Occasionally I do cook a whole batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies but seriously I rarely have time for that.
- We really don’t need 24 in our house anyway when my aim is to only have sweets occasionally.
This dessert in a mug is perfect though for a treat in the evening when the kiddos go to bed (yes you’re allowed to do that)!
Later, you can easily package all the chocolate chip cookie in a mug dry ingredients into ziploc baggies to use later.
The recipe below doesn’t include nuts but you can add them like you see above. I added chopped walnuts and it’s tasty too.
- Most of the time I just add lots of chocolate. It comes out a bit ooey gooey which I think is perfect. Since it has no egg you don’t have to worry about it being underdone.
- You want to make sure to NOT overcook it. If you do it quickly will turn dry and not nearly as good. One minute is plenty!
Think of it as a chocolate chip cookie straight out of the oven but cooked in a mug in the microwave. It’s that ooey gooey texture. Ready to fall apart if you were to try and pick it up, just like we like it. If you’re looking for a crispy cookie in a mug recipe this is not it.
This is for those of us who love a slightly underbaked cookie for one. You can pop in the microwave for one minute and enjoy it all to yourself. It is so good you will NOT want to share it, believe me.
Here’s what you need to make this chocolate chip cookie in a mug:
- Medium – Large mug
- microwave safe of course
- Oil
- Milk
- Vanilla extract
- Brown sugar
- All purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Chocolate chips – I like semi sweet chips
- you could use white chocolate chips if you wanted
- for a really gooey chocolate chip treat add some to the top too
- A bit of vanilla ice cream on top is an option but alone is sure to satisfy your chocolate chip cookie craving
More of a visual person and need to see a cookie in a mug video?
We show you here how to make this very treat. Sometimes I like to see someone else make it before I jump right in.
- This single serving chocolate chip dessert is something my girls can make too now that they are older.
- I printed the directions below and put it in a drawer so they can pull them out. Now they have phones so they can look it up on my site too. 😉 Take a peek.
Here is how you make it:
- Mix oil, milk and vanilla inside your mug with a spoon or fork.
- Then add brown sugar, flour and baking powder. Stir together until smooth.
- Gently mix in semi sweet chocolate chips until combined well.
- For added gooeyness add 1 more tbsp of chips on the top.
- Microwave for 1 minute and enjoy!
Want to make this even easier to make next time??!!
Add the flour and other dry contents up into baggies with a tag that lists the wet ingredients needed into your mug. Since there is NO egg white or egg yolk required you don’t really have anything perishable to add other than milk.
- Then put inside the Motherhood Winging It mug you see here or another (med./large size) and it’s a perfect gift too!
I would NOT double the recipe. Timing and ingredient amounts are really appropriate for one serving and won’t cook appropriately if you make it in a larger batch.

Mara says
Follow directions exactly. Added light cream instead of milk and a couple sprinkles of salt in the mug when it was done in the microwave. 👍🏻👍🏻 Delicious!
Megan says
I’ve been craving an oatmeal scotchie cookie all day so I decided to give this a try but I tweaked the recipe by doing half flour and half oatmeal I also added 1 tbsp of flaxseed meal & 1/2 tsp of brewers yeast (since I’m breastfeeding, I can use all the help with milk supply I can get) I used half butterscotch chips & half semi sweet chocolate. Wow! So good! I definitely think I’ll go slightly longer than the 1 min 10secs I tried tonight, but as far as microwave mug recipes this one is the best I’ve tried yet! Thank you!
Skyla says
I loved it!! But I didn’t look down on the comments to start of and I did 3 tablespoons instead of teaspoons?but I still loved the way it turned out!!
Kali says
Recipe looks yummy!
I was wondering if I could use oat flour? Thanks so much.
The Typical Mom says
I haven’t used that ever so I am unsure
Desire says
I added a tsp of sugar
TBS of Peanut butter and a little more oil.
Sooooooo good!
The Typical Mom says
Oh yay!!
Kathy says
I added some coconut oil and it is yum!!!
The Typical Mom says
Yay!! I love it too
April says
Seriously, I don’t care if it’s considered a cookie, cake, pancake or what. It’s amazing and I love it!! Thank you for this wonderful recipe!!
The Typical Mom says
Agree. We think it is amazing too!!
Lametrius says
First of all, this is not a mug cookie. This is a mug cake. There’s nothing cookie about this recipe. The texture of this is a cake, more like a pancake.
The Typical Mom says
Then I guess I suggest you not make this again if it doesn’t suit your tastebuds. However many people rave about this recipe, myself included, so call it what you will but we all will call it delicious.
Patty says
Nope….it’s def a COOKIE!! YUMMMMM
The Typical Mom says
We love it too!
Molly says
Agreed. Rubbery plainness, no cookie texture or flavor. Needs real butter, more sugar, egg, etc.
John says
Can you clarify whether it is supposed to be 3 teaspoons or tablespoons of brown sugar?
Thanks
MG says
It’s teaspoons. It’s further down in the comments
Anhs says
What type of oil do you use can u just use any or is there specific one
The Typical Mom says
I just used vegetable oil.
Bri says
I added a bit of salt and cooked for two minutes, and it came out just like a chocolate chip pancake! I even added a drizzle of maple syrup. It was a great late night treat!
The Typical Mom says
Awesome
britcox says
I added a little bit of salt to the batter and it helped tremendously!!
Oh an I used 3 “heaping” tea spoons for the brown sugar! Very good!
The Typical Mom says
Glad you loved it.
Susan says
Not what I was hoping for. Followed the recipe to the T. It’s definitely missing something. Possibly adding butter and egg would make it taste better.
Claudia says
After I read all the reviews I was certain it was going to turn out perfect. Unfortunately, it came out feeling like it was missing something. I think if there was egg involved it would taste better
Patricia says
I also would like to know if the measurement for the brown sugar is 3 T.?
Natalie says
3 teaspsoons. I tried tablespoons and it was too sweet
shirley says
Just wanted to point out the printed recipe does not specify the measurement for the brown sugar. By looking at the video I am guessing it is 3 tbsp, but wanted to ask to be sure. It looks like a great dessert.
Niila says
BEST mug cookie recipe out there, HANDS DOWN, with a couple mods- like another one of the commenters, I substituted heavy cream for milk (I realize this raises the calorie count but ohhh so worth it) and used about a half tablespoon less than called for. Then, I microwaved for only about 45 seconds. The resulting cookie was gooey, thick and delicious- like the center of a cookie fresh out of the oven. No cakiness whatsoever. Wonderful job with this recipe! I think leaving egg out is part of what makes it so great. Will definitely make again and again.
Lisa says
Finally! I super yummy cookie mug recipe! I’ve tried so many, mainly with egg yolk, so I was surprised when I saw no egg at all in yours. It came out fluffy and gooey. Definitely my go-to recipe now. Thank you!
Emma says
Nope nope nope. Gross! Made it exactly to the typed directions and it came out half rubbery and half uncooked. Also bland 🙁 will have to tweak and try again! Idk why it didn’t turn out for me, everyone else seemed to have good reviews
Brandi says
Just made this for my husband and I and it is/was delicious!! Made to typed recipe and was perfect! I did sub 1 tblspn of peanut butter chips ?
The Typical Mom says
It’s my favorite!
zainab says
I loved it but mine turned out to be a vanilla mug cake
Amber says
My husband and I LOVE this recipe. I also put a scoop of cookie butter in the batter before I microwave. That combination, plus a scoop of vanilla ice cream, my husband said, “this is the best thing ever!” Like everyone else, I don’t think to keep tempting things in the house either…. perfect quick serving. Thanks for sharing!
The Typical Mom says
OH I’m so glad you loved it too!!
MummaMealey says
I just whipped this up, late night dessert craving.
I have a policy where I won’t buy food that tempts me to binge eat, but unfortunately Pinterest exists & im a pretty decent cook! ?
I only microwaved for 1min & served straight away with the last scrap of the vanilla ice cream!
I picked this recipe because I’m out of eggs & this recipe didn’t call for any!
This was one of the better mug cake/cookie recipe I’ve tried – will most definitely make again when the cravings call!
The Typical Mom says
Awesome!
Karen says
Is the batter supposed to be more like cake batter than cookie dough?
I can’t decide if I like it or not. The flavor wasn’t what I expected. The texture was pretty typical for a mug cookie. Not sure I’ll make it again.
Nicole says
Pretty good! Definitely satisfied the late night chocolate craving. It wasn’t even close to done after one minute though. I don’t eat raw cookie dough so I didn’t want it Ooey-gooey. About a minute and 45 seconds on high was needed to get it fully cooked.
The Typical Mom says
Everyone prefers a different consistency so once you find what you like you’ll know for the future! Glad you liked it.
Robin says
The video shows 3 tabs flour and the recipe says 4 tbs. can anyone verify what it should be
The Typical Mom says
I don’t show all the steps in the video, follow recipe please.
Sonia says
Love this!!! Thanks so much. I used mini chocolate chips and it was so yummy ?
The Typical Mom says
Yeah it is our fave too!
Lezlie says
Super easy and very tasty!
Karen says
What is the wattage of your microwave? Mine is 800 watts. Will it be cooked in 1 min?
The Typical Mom says
Ours is 1000 so it may take 10 sec longer?
Joel Knouse says
This is so good!! This goes beyond late night snack! I would totally serve this as a decadent dessert to friends and family. As I double the recipe into a cereal bowl (totally works!) it makes me think of the “cookie in a skillet” dessert they serve in fancy schmantcy restaurants. Ramekins should work fine too.?
The Typical Mom says
Yes!! Ooey and gooey like that!
megunprocessed says
This is creative and easy recipe for late snack cravings.
barbg says
Wow does that look yummy!! I’m going to try it thank you so much! I think I’ll just make up some mixes & skip the baggies, put it right in the cups so they are ready to go except for the wet stuff. I don’t drink coffee so I have a ton of extra coffee cups sitting around.
The Typical Mom says
Awesome!
Patty says
What. Great idea!!
