Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar (mix 1 tablespoon sugar with 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon)
Optional Add-ins
- Chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional, to taste)
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, add the melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Add Dry Leavening and Salt: Sprinkle the baking powder and pinch of salt into the mug and mix thoroughly to incorporate evenly into the wet mixture.
- Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mug, stirring continuously until a smooth cookie dough forms and no dry flour remains.
- Fold in Cinnamon Sugar: Add half of the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture to the dough and gently fold it in until distributed throughout the dough.
- Add Optional Ingredients: If desired, gently fold in a small handful of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to add texture and flavor.
- Top with Remaining Cinnamon Sugar: Smooth the dough evenly inside the mug and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the surface for a sweet cinnamon crust.
- Microwave Cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 40 to 60 seconds. Microwave power levels vary, so watch carefully; the cookie should be set on the edges but still slightly soft and gooey in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookie to cool for about one minute after microwaving, then enjoy it warm directly from the mug.
Notes
- Microwave wattages vary greatly; start checking the cookie after 40 seconds to avoid overcooking.
- You can replace all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour to make it gluten-free.
- Adding a small pinch of nutmeg or cardamom can enhance the cinnamon flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan butter.
- Enjoy the cookie warm for best texture and flavor.
