We've all experienced that intense cookie craving that hits out of nowhere. As a seasoned home baker, I've got the perfect solution: a massive, gooey chocolate chip cookie made in your microwave in under 5 minutes total. It's simple, reliable, and irresistibly delicious.
This recipe is foolproof for beginners—follow these steps for bakery-quality results every time.
1. In a large bowl, combine the softened butter and both sugars. Mix thoroughly with a fork until smooth.
2. Beat the egg and add 2 tablespoons (about 30 ml) to the bowl along with the vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
3. Sift in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just incorporated—avoid overmixing for the best texture.
4. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
5. Transfer the dough to a microwave-safe mug or dish. Sprinkle a few extra chips on top for that classic look.
6. Microwave on high for exactly 2 minutes. Let it cool slightly for the perfect chewy center.
Voilà! Your oversized chocolate chip cookie is ready—warm, gooey, and packed with flavor. Top with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of melted chocolate for an extra-indulgent treat. Enjoy responsibly, especially if watching your calories.
