Cookie Dough in a Mug

I LOVE cookie dough, but sometimes I get a craving for it and don’t want to make a huge batch of it. Cookie dough in a mug is a great solution as you can quickly make it in a regular-sized mug.

Cookie Dough in a Mug

This cookie recipe turns out to be incredibly flavorsome and has gooey bits of chocolate throughout it. It’s perfect by itself or you can make it even better with a scoop or two of vanilla bean ice cream.

All you need is a microwave, mug, a few basic baking ingredients, and you’re ready to go. It’s an incredibly easy recipe to whip up, making it perfect for a tasty snack.

Like most mug cakes, this is the perfect dessert or snack for one person. If you want to feed more people, you can easily double or triple the recipe; however, you may need a larger mug or multiple mugs.

Personalizing the Recipe

If you’re looking to mix things up a bit, then you can add half dark chocolate chips and half white chocolate chips into the cookie batter.

There is also the option of adding chopped walnuts or almonds for a bit of crunch. There are just so many variations that you can do to this tasty recipe.

Perfecting the Cookie

The cooking time for this cookie dough can vary quite a bit. This is mainly due to the different types of microwaves. You will need to cook this a little longer if the middle is still very wet.

You shouldn’t eat this cookie dough raw as there are health risks to doing so, especially if you’re elderly, immune-compromised, or pregnant. I recommend cooking the dough in the microwave as it will help ensure it is safe to eat.
