Instructions

Melt the butter

In a large microwave-safe mug, melt the butter for 20-30 seconds until fully liquid.

Pro tip: Ensure the butter doesn't bubble over by covering loosely with a paper towel.

Mix sugars and egg yolk

Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and egg yolk until well combined.

Pro tip: Mix thoroughly to prevent the egg yolk from cooking in the heat.

Add vanilla

Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.

Incorporate dry ingredients

Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until a dough forms.

Pro tip: The dough should be thick and not too sticky.

Fold in chocolate chips

Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Pro tip: Reserve a few chocolate chips to sprinkle on top for presentation.

Microwave the cookie

Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, or until the cookie is set but still soft in the centre.

Pro tip: Cook time may vary; start with less time and add more if needed.
