How to Serve Mug Cookie

How to Store Mug Cookie

Tips to Make Mug Cookie

Make sure to watch the time when microwaving to prevent it from overcooking.
You can use other mix-ins like nuts or dried fruit instead of chocolate chips for different flavors.
Feel free to adjust the sugar depending on how sweet you like your cookie.

Variation

Try adding a pinch of cinnamon for a warm spice twist! You can also swap out chocolate chips for peanut butter chips or white chocolate for a different flavor.
