One of my new year’s resolutions is to use my time wisely to share the recipes that I’ve been dying to share with you. And I think I’ve had this microwave chocolate chip cookie recipe on the back burner for at least a year, if not longer. Terrible I know!

I tweaked the recipe to how I like it, wrote it down, and then the handwritten recipe kept getting hidden in the back of my desk drawer. I finally pulled it out and made it again just so I could share it with you guys.
The ingredients for this microwave chocolate chip cookie are basically the same as a regular batch of cookie dough, with the exception of baking soda. The egg yolk does all the leavening (rising) that this single cookie needs in the microwave.
You literally mix it up in a ramekin or mug, and microwave it until the desired doneness. I have found that a flat ramekin cooks more evenly than a mug does. Just FYI.
Just think of all those times that you want to have a dessert, but you don’t dare make a whole batch of cookies because you’d eat more than your fair share and regret it afterwards. That always makes me emotional, and I eat my feelings, which means I would down more cookies. This satisfies that sweet tooth, but with forced portion control. You’re welcome!
DISCLAIMER: I am not claiming that this recipe is healthy by any means. It is still a dessert. If you’re worried about the calories, share it with someone else. 🙂

UPDATED 1/28/17: I have had so many requests for an eggless version. I tested this recipe 4x and I have included the version I’m happiest with in the notes. The texture is not going to be the same as the egg version, but it still tastes like a chocolate chip cookie. Enjoy!
I made this for my husband and he loved it!!
That’s great! Thanks for your comment!
it so good
It looks yummy!! Can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing!! BTW, what temperature setting do you use?
Thanks! I used full power on the microwave.
What – already made a full batch of dough ! Do I need to add something to do it in the micro ? How deep into the ramekin and should it packed or airy ?
You could probably do 1 to 1 1/2 inches of cookie dough, packed. Should cook about the same amount of time. Good luck!
Hi, Amber! First, thanks for the exact recipe I wanted! Second, I ate it still warm with a spoon, and the bottom center was moist crumbs. I’m not much of a cook, so I’m not sure what made it more cake-like than cookie. Any suggestions will be gratefully implemented.
Unfortunately these are slightly more cakey than regular cookies. You can try cooking for less time to make them more gooey. Also, if the batter seems dry, try a little milk or water. Hope this helps!
Tried it out, and it was great! I liked being able to add my own flavours (like coconut) because the recipe was so simple. Thank you!
Mmm! Coconut! I’ll have to try that! Glad you enjoyed it Amy!
I think I did something wrong
I’m sorry. Without more information, I can’t really help you. Just remember all microwaves cook differently. It’s always best to start with less cooking time.
I just made this recipe its great 10/10
So glad you enjoyed it!
Made this the other night and loved it! Wanted one today but only had Andes pieces and no reg chips so I added some cocoa powder and made it with those and it’s wonderful! Thanks for the recipe!
Ooh! That sounds delicious! Going to have to try it that way!
I’ve been making this exact recipe for about 3+ years now so it’s really not a new idea. You can change up the sweetingredient from chocolate chip to cranberries with white chocolate, or use raisins with nuts if you like nuts, or any other thing that trips your trigger. It is insanely addicting.
