Print Recipe

A quick and easy microwave mug cookie featuring peanut butter, perfect for satisfying late-night cravings with a warm, gooey, and indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons creamy or chunky peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or dairy-free alternatives like almond or oat milk)
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mug, combine 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir lightly to mix evenly.
  2. Add 3 tablespoons peanut butter, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract if using. Stir until smooth and thick.
  3. Fold in 1 tablespoon chocolate chips gently. Optionally, add a few more on top before cooking.
  4. Microwave on high for 40 to 60 seconds. Start with 40 seconds and check; the cookie should be set around edges but gooey in the center. Microwave in 10-second bursts if needed, avoiding overcooking.
  5. Let the cookie cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying.

Notes

Do not overcook to avoid a rubbery texture. Use creamy peanut butter for smooth texture. Adjust microwave time based on power. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend. Variations include adding cocoa powder, using vegan milk, or nut-free butters.
