  • Always use a wide mug to avoid overflow. I learned the hard way that using one with tall thin sides can lead to a splattered mess.
  • Do not skip greasing the mug if you want a cleaner release but honestly I love eating straight from the cup.
  • Microwave strengths vary so start checking at 70 seconds. Underbake a tad for a gooey center or add 5 seconds for a firmer bite.
  • This is a forgiving recipe that leaves plenty of room for your own twists. Every cook finds their perfect combination after a few late-night mug cookie experiments. Enjoy sharing and tweaking with your favorite people.
