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. 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! It’s one of our favorite mug recipes. (originally published 12/16, affiliate links present)
I know…it really is that amazing!
You can easily package all the chocolate chip cookie in a mug dry ingredients into ziploc baggies. 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)!
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
- Brown sugar
- Flour – all purpose
- Baking powder
- Chocolate chips – I like semi sweet chips
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 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.
Super easy way to make a cookie for one right??!!
Package contents up in a baggie with a tag that tells them the wet ingredients to add. Then put inside the Motherhood Winging It mug you see here or another (med./large size) and it’s a perfect gift too!

- 4 tbsp flour

- Then add brown sugar, flour, baking powder and 2 tbsp. chocolate chips. Mix well.
- Sprinkle 1 more tbsp. chocolate chips on top and put into your microwave for 1 minute. Done!!

03/24/2019 at 6:11 pmCan you clarify whether it is supposed to be 3 teaspoons or tablespoons of brown sugar?
Thanks
MG says
04/09/2019 at 7:35 pmIt’s teaspoons. It’s further down in the comments
Anhs says
02/12/2019 at 2:32 pmWhat type of oil do you use can u just use any or is there specific one
The Typical Mom says
02/12/2019 at 3:06 pmI just used vegetable oil.
Bri says
01/19/2019 at 7:54 pmI 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
01/19/2019 at 9:43 pmAwesome
britcox says
11/12/2018 at 7:22 pmI 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
11/14/2018 at 9:53 amGlad you loved it.
Susan says
10/06/2018 at 7:31 pmNot 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
09/02/2018 at 1:28 pmAfter 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
05/09/2018 at 5:50 pmI also would like to know if the measurement for the brown sugar is 3 T.?
Natalie says
08/01/2018 at 9:24 pm3 teaspsoons. I tried tablespoons and it was too sweet
shirley says
04/26/2018 at 12:16 pmJust 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.

03/26/2018 at 9:05 pmBEST 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
12/28/2017 at 7:36 pmFinally! 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
11/04/2017 at 9:55 pmNope 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
10/20/2017 at 10:52 pmJust 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 😉

10/23/2017 at 8:47 pmIt’s my favorite!
zainab says
07/06/2017 at 6:16 amI loved it but mine turned out to be a vanilla mug cake
Amber says
03/25/2017 at 5:24 pmMy 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
03/26/2017 at 7:24 pmOH I’m so glad you loved it too!!
MummaMealey says
03/18/2017 at 3:56 amI 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
03/20/2017 at 1:52 pmAwesome!
Karen says
03/15/2017 at 9:03 pmIs 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
02/24/2017 at 9:39 pmPretty 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
02/26/2017 at 8:34 pmEveryone prefers a different consistency so once you find what you like you’ll know for the future! Glad you liked it.
Robin says
06/29/2017 at 6:33 pmThe video shows 3 tabs flour and the recipe says 4 tbs. can anyone verify what it should be
The Typical Mom says
06/29/2017 at 6:39 pmI don’t show all the steps in the video, follow recipe please.
Lezlie says
02/03/2017 at 6:44 pmSuper easy and very tasty!
Karen says
01/20/2017 at 4:34 pmWhat is the wattage of your microwave? Mine is 800 watts. Will it be cooked in 1 min?
The Typical Mom says
01/28/2017 at 10:46 amOurs is 1000 so it may take 10 sec longer?
Joel Knouse says
01/17/2017 at 6:16 pmThis 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
01/18/2017 at 3:58 pmYes!! Ooey and gooey like that!
megunprocessed says
01/06/2017 at 3:42 pmThis is creative and easy recipe for late snack cravings.
barbg says
01/01/2017 at 7:38 amWow 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
