Easy Cookie in a Mug Recipe 

My old teacher used to play your videos in class, she eventually left our school and she’s now vice principal at another school, this channel is a great memory I have of her (:

1 tbsp partially melted butter 13 grams 4 tsp light brown sugar 1 tbsp granulated sugar pinch of salt a drop of vanilla 1 egg yolk 3 tbsp all purpose flour 2 tbsp semisweet choco chips chocolate chips for garnish bake for 45 seconds - 1 minute

This is very dangerous...I can't be trusted to have chocolate chip cookies so easily within my reach...love these quick yet clear videos. Always my favorite channel

Not the first time a video of yours has come right when I've been craving a certain specific treat - I've been trying out mugcakes this week! Perfect timing and definitely going to give this a try.

I'm so grateful for this channel! The positivity that John exudes is just marvellous, haha and his sense of humour is ridiculously on point. Best wishes from Australia!

I ran upstairs to make this as soon as I watched the video. Then I came back to tell you that this is the best darn mug cookie I’ve ever eaten. The only thing I’d change is lessening the sugar amount a little. Thank you!

I used this with a 3rd grade class on following directions and measuring! They worked in teams of 3 and all made their own. End of year it was voted their favorite activity lesson!

This reminded me of my mom ... who is now 96. When I was a little girl, I'd tell her I wanted to "bake". She would always hand me this particular bowl ... kinda small ... and she would tell me what to put in it. Then we'd bake it in the oven. It came out as a little cake. Wasn't great tasting, BUT I MADE A CAKE! I'm sure this recipe is excellent and I'm going to bake it today.

Love your recipe John. I made my first cookie in a mug today. I used 3 tbs choc chips and 3 tbs walnuts. I split the batter into 2 ramekins. Since I don't have a microwave *I baked them in my toaster oven at 180C for 17 mins.* They turned out great! Had one soon after they were baked. I prefer waiting 6 hours later when I had the second one and the texture is more like a cookie. Thanks for sharing. 🙏

hey John! I just want to say I love ALL of your recipes 😋 you’re the only one I come to when I want to bake something and every time it turns out delicious ❤️

Love this! A great idea for next Christmas to hand out as gifts and party favors, with the recipe included.

Scoop of vanilla ice cream on top will be perfect!!!

Hi John! I appreciate your recipe! I was craving for chocolate chip cookies but was too lazy to bake😂 I made this today and it only took me about 5 minutes!! It turned out well and tasted really good! This was what I needed! Thanks a lot! Commenting this from Japan🇯🇵

Oh, I needed this! I’ve had many emergency dessert moments after a long day at work… 😂….definitely making tonight! Also cannot wait to try the blood orange cheesecake posted recently…. Looks heavenly. Thank you, John. Your videos and recipes (ohhhh and kitchen 🤭) are amazing! XO, Virgo soul sister fan 😉

John, this recipe is EXCELLENT! I have never had a mug confection turn out so wonderfully, and with so little time/effort/dishes too 🤩 AND I'm set to have a healthy breakfast tomorrow morning! All wins! Thank you so much!

I tried this immediately after seeing it on my feed with gluten free all purpose flour and 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum and it turned out DELICIOUS. Thank you!

This recipie is literally the best

Just tried this and it’s AMAZING! We made 3 mugs and used 1 whole egg and one yolk. Worked beautifully. Highly recommend a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

I love it💗, I always appreciate a good cake, cookie, or whatever in a mug; as long as it tastes good, it's quick, and doesn't take that much dishes to wash. Thank you!💜🌟

I just watched your farm video. I love your goats. I used to raise Nigerian goats and I have three Pyrnese dogs still. Nigerians are the sweetest animal. I love your videos!

John ruining my diet one wonderful upload at time. This one looks too good/easy to pass up!

You are my favorite baker on RU-vid! I always use your recipes! They always turn out amazing!

I just made ITIT's so good I'm going to California next week and my grandma wants me to make it for her and I'm so excited to spread the tradition and also it is yum🍪☕🍪☕🍪☕🍪☕🍪☕🍪☕

I CAN ALWAYS TRIST JOHN'S RECIPES, I'M CERTAIN THIS WILL BE ONE OF THE BEST MUG CAKES YET.

Soooo glad you’re here for us & our sweet tooth John!

Good recipe...please post more of this small batch ideas. Thanks 😉

That is perfect for me!!! I'm a 61 year old single female!!! Thank you so much!!! God Bless!!!

Great recipe. I cut down on the fat & calories just a bit by replacing the butter with Country Crock margarine ( can also use I can't believe it's not butter) and replacing the white sugar with Stevia in the Raw. Still used regular brown sugar and it was DELICIOUS!

I seriously needed this recipe

I'm having a sleepover with my grandsons this week. We're going to try this for a late night treat.....can't wait!❤

I was making that brownie mug recipe so much. It’s so good.I have no doubt that this is good.

Wow terlihat sangat mudah sekali ya membuat kue didalam mug seperti itu😊,,salam dari Indonesia 🇮🇩

I trust his cooking because of his captivating smile😎 That's the smile of a person who knows what he's doing 😂🥰

Looking at this man makes me so happy

Oh wow, I really like this recipe. I've been a subscriber of your channel and How to Cook That for ages. Always such good vibes when watching you guys 😀

We used to make these with the teens at my library. The program was always a huge hit.

Omg I love this I'm going to do this tomorrow for my son😋😋I can't wait!!Thank you for sharing the best recipes ❤️❤️🥰🥰

I love your recipes & instruction but mostly I watch your videos because you present so well. I start my day with a smile after your videos ,,, you ROCK!

It's nearly midnight and this is really freaking tempting right now.

This is going to be committed to memory! What an amazing recipe for when you have a craving for something sweet and it's just you! You're my hero!😁

Trying this right now! I even thought to innovate by adding honey instead of white sugar. I'll come back after I've eaten it.... on to the quick Playlist

Miss your full length Saturday morning uploads! They were such a great way to start the weekend 😪

Wow, you’re so brave and I did this on repeat I’ve made so many😂❤

So… I learned why you don’t put egg white in this 😂 I tried to double it and used a whole egg instead of two yolks, and… It turned into a cake. Wasn’t bad tho. When you make it CORRECTLY, it’s delicious!

Just made this right now and it is one of the best mug cookies i have tried. Thanks for sharing the recipe 😊

I sometimes make a little cookie dough for myself when I have a sweet tooth. Who knew I could bake it? This is brilliant!

YOUR really good at these videos!! i really enjoy them. thank you Chef for sharing so many wonderful recipes with us. ill def make this for me n my husband.

I took a risk and made this with the vegan butter I had on hand. SO DELICIOUS. Best mug cookie recipe

Wow! I havent been too active on yt for the past few years and im so glad to see how much your channel has grown!!! I was subscribed when the subscribers were still in the thousands and oh how much youve grown! So proud ❤

I tried this, topped with some whipped cream and its delicious! Highly recommend! Tried a different recipe without egg and it was horrible

Can wait to make it

I didn't gluten free and it still works 😊

I know this is only a quick recipe in a mug but gram weights are always appreciated. I can spoon and level a tablespoon of flour but I'm sure there will be many who use too much and in this small of a recipe it would be a problem. For those who love chocolate chip cookies the New York Times just did a video on their ultimate chocolate chip cookie, just a couple of days ago. I can't post a link here or the comment will be deleted but it's a very good cookie and you can make various substitutions. I highly recommend hand chopping the chocolate, don't use preformed chips. The wonderful thing with those cookies is that after you scoop them into dough balls you can freeze them. Be sure to refrigerate the dough for two or three days first to develop the flavors, the video explains the technique. Then put the dough balls in to a freezer bag and put them in the freezer. When you need a cookie or two, take the dough balls out of the freezer and bake them from frozen. It only takes an extra minute or two. That way you get fantastic chocolate chunk cookies in not much longer than it would take to make these. It is true though that you would have to heat the oven to make the other cookies but if you're willing to wait 20 minutes it's worth it. To clarify, there is absolutely a place for a cookie in a mug. These are great when you have 2 minutes and need a cookie. The reference to the New York Times recipe is for a different kind of cookie.

Thanks. There are many times that I just don't want to make a whole batch of cookies This is perfect for anyone in the house that wants to have something sweet after dinner.

I got hooked on mug cakes during the pandemic shutdown. Can’t wait to try a cookie mug. Looks like it’ll be my next addiction.

I just made this - delicious!

Warning: This is super more-ish Amazing recipe! I normally half the amount of sugar and add some powdered cinnamon and ginger for extra flavour. I make this quite a lot because it genuinely is the quickest and tastiest microwave snack I have tried.

Best mug cake I've tried yet it didn't become dry like the others thank you!

“If you’re brave” 😂 we laughed at the same time, John! I was brave and burned my tongue! 😅

OMGOOOOOODNESS!!!! Just tried this recipe for my daughter and I in heart shaped ramekins and we are IN LOVE!!! So AHHH-Mazing! ;) Thanks, John - you've done it again!! oxox

Just made this and it was the best mug cookie ive ever had!!! Great consistency and tasted amazing!!

It's perfect and simple. Just enough to satisfy the craving without making a whole batch. Please make a video for flour tortillas! 😋

You're truly a hero for this

I may have to make myself one right now🙃

Thank you, that's a perfect way to not make a whole batch, just enough to satisfy the craving! I would like to request a flour tortilla video. From your part Mexican heart to mine!♥️

It is currently 11:30, and this was a great midnight snack ❤

I love something quick and easy like this

I want copper measuring spoons like that!

Thank you so much!❤ and merry Christmas ❤

I would love the guys cook book

YES YES YES!! 🤩 I've made brownies in a mug [long ago, hadn't found you yet] and have been craving CC cookies, but didn't want to make a batch because, well, you know - you can't eat just one 🤣🤣 Thank you so much for sharing!! Now to go find your other yummies in a mug. Love you!!!

I've been looking for a trustworthy mugcake recipe, perfect!!!!

Love this recipe!! It’s my go to sweet

Wow amazing recipe for kids. Will try it tomorrow

Dangerous AND Delicious… how do I know???🍪 made it! Brought me back to my JR High School cooking class days in the mid 60’s❤

These more cakes are absolutely delicious and easy to make! 😋

Oh my god johnnnn that was amazing the other ones on RU-vid never work I luvvvvv ur videos and you have inspired me to start baking

I just made it and it’s really good

This was delicious! Made it tonight. Need to run to the gym tomorrow 😂. Thank you for the recipe. 🎉🎉

What if you wanted to make two cookie mugs at the same time? Would you only use one egg? Maybe 2 tablespoons of egg for each mug? Or would you use one yolk for each mug?

For some reason you really remind me of Mitchell Pritchet from Modern Family lol. Great recipe btw, I've made this to my brother and he loved it.

Good recipe and you seem like such a nice man

This looks delicious. Will it taste like a sugar cookie if I don't do the add-ins? My hubby likes shortbread cookies.

Just made it and it was good I didn't have chocolate chips so I used Hershey chocolate syrup and it was still good. I'll tell yall if I get sick or not tmrw

I was wondering if you can do a show on decorating cakes. I’m terrible at it and always wanted to learn. Then I can do my grandchildren’s birthday cakes! Thank you. ❤

Love ur recipes, I made ur red velvet cake and my sister now asks me non stop to make her a cake every weeek

Was so happy to see this for my husband can’t wait to surprise him

Oooh I am soooo trying this now that I have a microwave! I tried your chocolate mug cake as well, it was great but I'm not a super huge fan of chocolate so I was wondering if you would make a vanilla mug cake? I love experimenting with flavours so I would love a recipe that I can do that with, I tried some vanilla mug recipes and they were okay but kinda bland. I'd love to try a recipe from you! Btw I'm so excited because I'll finally be able to buy your book soon (the ebook version though)!!

Omg thank you so much this is the first time a microwave cookie work with me and I loved it, it was great u earned a new sub 😀

I have made it, well I have tried to make it, but it turned out as a cake. But it still tasted very very good

I can’t wait to give this a try! Looks delicious & so easy! I used to make cakes & cobblers in a jar … delicious!

Going to try out! You should do another Q&A video, i would love to know if u and ur husband ever plan taking the twins to jalisco to get to know their roots and love to see a video about it especially eating the food

I made something like this in my 8th grade home economics class, and it was delicious.

That looks so good !

i overcooked it and it got burned but it taste so good!
