Brownie in a Mug

I am bringing you yet another mug recipe. What can I say? They are convenient, easy, and I love that I can make a single serving (that way I don't over indulge in their chocolatey deliciousness!). This brownie in a mug almost pushes out the chocolate chip cookie in a mug as my favorite mug recipe. It's no surprise that they come from the same source!

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
a splash of vanilla extract
a pinch of salt
1 egg yolk
4 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
2 tablespoons chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet)

Directions:
Melt butter in a mug. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt to the mug and stir. Stir in the egg yolk, discarding the egg white. Pour in the flour and cocoa powder and combine well. Stir in chocolate chips. Microwave for 45 to 60 seconds. Mine cook at 55 seconds.

Enjoy!

Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Mug!

This has to be one of the coolest recipes I've found on Pinterest. I've seen numerous recipes for cakes-in-mugs that bake in the microwave and even tried a few. But this is the first recipe I have ever seen for a cookie-in-a-mug. It is everything that a homemade chocolate chip cookie should be--warm, soft, and delicious. I found this recipe on the blog No. 2 Pencil and didn't have to change a thing! She also has recipes for Peanut Butter Cookie in a Cup and Sugar Cookie in a Cup.

My chocolate chips look melted because I used a leftover chocolate ganache Easter egg in place of chocolate chips.

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
3 drops of vanilla extract
pinch of salt
1 egg yolk
scant 1/4 cup of flour
2 tablespoon chocolate chips

Directions:
Melt the butter in your mug in the microwave. Stir in white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Add the egg yolk to the mug; discard the whites. Stir. Pour in flour and mix. Stir in the chocolate chips. Bake in the microwave for 40 to 60 seconds. Allow to cool a bit (I was so eager to taste the cookie that I burnt my tongue) and serve warm.

Another great thing about a cookie-in-a-cup? No bowls, cookie sheets, mixers, or spatulas to clean. Where were all these in-a-mug recipes when I was in college?

Enjoy!
