Tips:

(1) Make sure your mug is really microwave safe!

I know that sounds obvious, but you would be surprised how many times I tried to make this recipe with a mug that claimed to be safe in the microwave and it didn’t end up cooking my cookie!

Basically, if your mug gets very hot, then the batter isn’t getting hot and won’t cook.

You want to make sure that the mug stays cool while cooking in the microwave and the cookie batter gets hot.

That is why I often use a ramekin for this recipe because they tend to be microwave safe.

I found this article on how to tell if something is microwave safe very helpful!

(2) Make sure to only cook it for 40 seconds.

The cookie keeps cooking after you remove it from the microwave.
