How to serve:
Once your pumpkin chocolate chip cookie in a mug is cooked, you can eat it as is or put ice-cream on top. Which I HIGHLY recommend.
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.

So easy and delicious!!
Very happy you enjoyed it!
I don’t use or own a microwave. I have started using an IntantPot, have am Air Fryer attachment for the 8 qt (mew haven’t tried using yet). I do use my 3 qt all the time. Can this be done in the pressure cooker or just heat it up in the it? Like get it hot with a cup of water, then put the ramekin into and cook for ? . Do you think this would work?
That is a good question! I have never tried making it any other way so I am not totally sure. I would be very curious to find out if you try it!
