How To Make A Cookie Mug Cake

This microwave mug cake recipe is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

Crush cookies into a fine crumb using a food processor.
Mix all of the ingredients (per recipe below) in a mug. Stir in chocolate chips.
Microwave a minute at a time until the cake is ‘baked’ and fluffy.

Serve immediately with whipped cream or ice cream.

Recipe Tips

Choose the dry variety of chocolate chip cookies instead of the chewy kind so the cake rises properly.
Whole milk (or heavy whipping cream) will give the cake a full-bodied flavor.
Oat milk can be used for a non-dairy dessert because it’s the creamiest of milk alternatives.
For a sugar-free mug cake, replace the granulated sugar with an equal amount of erythritol (Swerve). For a keto mug cake, use almond flour, an egg, and butter along with cocoa powder and sugar-free chocolate chips!
Made without brown sugar, butter, or egg, mug cakes are trending everywhere. Serve with this yummy sparkling berry lemonade , or a delicious peppermint latte.

Time Saving Tips

Grind the cookies in advance add all the dry ingredients together in small zippered bags so a mug cake can be at the ready any time! Perfect for last-minute movie nights, sleepovers, and parties! Just mix with milk, cook, and enjoy!
