Oh, how we love making ourselves single serve treats in cups and mugs and plates using our microwave. Our Cup of Coffee Cake (in under five minutes) is our most popular post of all time, and 2-Minute French Toast in a Cup isn’t far behind. Now we have a recipe for a one-minute microwave chocolate chip cookie on a plate. This could not be easier.
Now, a microwave cookie is not going to have a crispy browned exterior like a baked cookie, so don’t expect it to be exactly the same as your mom’s famous recipe. But what it does have is ooey, gooey, melty chocolate chips. And it can be ready in a minute. And you can make just one at a time. So it’s got some things going for it.
Head on over to Jaime’s Lazy Late Night Cooking Corner on our YouTube channel for more microwave treats like, Single Serve Cinnamon Roll, Rice Krispy Treat, Blueberry Cobbler, and Strawberry Shortcake for Two.
Let’s get to making a microwave chocolate chip cookie on a plate…
Microwave Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Use a mug or bowl to mix your ingredients, and a plate to cook your cookie.
Start with one tablespoon of butter. Soften it in the microwave for 6-8 seconds. Add a teaspoon and a half of sugar and a teaspoon of packed brown sugar (I used light brown). Stir them together with a fork until light and fluffy. Add a single drop of vanilla and mix again.
Now you want to add some egg. You only need a teaspoon or two of egg, so you can crack one, stir it up, and seperate out your bit for the cookie and use the rest to scramble. Or, if you are quickly becoming a microwave-baking-afficiando like myself, you could keep a carton of egg whites on hand, and just add a teaspoon from there. Mix.
Now add 2 tablespoons of all purpose flour, a pinch of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
Now add your chocolate chips and stir again. Remove your cookie dough to a plate, just dollop it in the center.
Microwave for 40 seconds. If it doesn’t look done yet, add another five seconds at a time. My microwave does my cookie perfectly in 45 seconds.
Eat.

I love microwaves. They must have been invented by women.

Put a scoop of ice cream on the top and you have a perfect dessert, snack, meal, etc. Whenever I make cookies, I freeze some dough in balls so I can always bake up some on demand. If I only need one, I usually go for the toaster over, but I’m sure the microwave would work.

Wow! This is so cool. Desert anytime.

Instant cookies… that’s just dangerous. Don’t want to wake up… cookie, baby won’t nap… cookie, why are the kids still awake… cookie!

i tried tripling this recipe to make 3 cookies. the first one spread all over the plate and only cooked in the middle (i clearly cannot count). when i put it back in the micro to cook it more, the microwave started sparking so i had to turn it off. i ate the rest of the batter. overall, a great success.

Glad to have found you through Sacramento Bee 4/24/12 food section via Chicago Tribune Cindy Dampier. She didn’t post this but your coffeecake and her version (?) of single-serve/micro chilaquiles, quiche, and upside down cake. As a science who is a decent baker and ok cook, my micro-baking has been less than steller. “No Pudge” Brownies and egg dishes are dang simple, but love the portion control of it all. Plus little mess, immediate gratification, and no heating up a house in NC during the summer make these a must try. (Today we hit the asparagus festival in Stockton. Strawberry stand down the street is open, local asparagus is 99 cents a pound, we are so blessed with fresh produce. Hard to remember when I bought canned anything besides canned ‘maters or even frozen.) Thanks!

Just made one up. Very tasty, but 40 seconds overcooked it. Might abuse this just and just eat cookie dough…
[Reply]
Ok,
but who can just eat one chocolate chip cookie?
[Reply]
Mine are coming out flat and kind of undercooked after even a minute. My kids like them but I am a bit disappointed, yours in the pic looks much better!
[Reply]
yummy

Thank you so much for this! I am in Japan and have been craving chocolate cookies, but we don’t have an oven in our tiny apartment! This has made my day.

My cookie turned out very cake-like. Fix to this? It was still good though!
[Reply]
I tried this and it turned into a pancake.

hmm, a microwave pancake. i like that idea!

I made this with my sister. It was yummy but a few hours later we have tummy aches…I was wondering if it happened to be just us or of we did something wrong, or if this happened to anyone else. We are worried that maybe we didn’t microwave it long enough and our egg wasn’t cooked enough…? Would that be a possibility? Thanks

My cookie turned into one huge flat cake kinda thing…
[Reply]
Tasted good but smells bad.

Delicious cookie! My family loved it. This is a great way to make a delicious desert in about 5 minutes. Enjoy!

Adding a bit of almond oil to the oil portion and you have to do is take a pill to make the drug
effective. The green coffee bean extract benefits reviews point out exactly the amount of excess fats, you would
want to indulge in after attempting out pretty much the
same to you.

What i do not understood is in fact how you’re now not really a lot more well-favored than you might be right now. You are very intelligent. You realize thus significantly with regards to this topic, made me for my part imagine it from numerous numerous angles. Its like men and women aren’t involved except it is one
thing to do with Girl gaga! Your own stuffs great.
At all times handle it up!
