It’s great for parties, or even just a fun recipe to try out with your friends and family. It has all the same wonderful and tasty qualities as a typical cookie, so it won’t disappoint! 

Ingredients: 

  • 1 cup butter (2 sticks) 
  • ½ cup brown sugar 
  • 2 eggs 
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda 
  • 1 large pack of chocolate chips 
  • 1 cup sugar 
  • ½ teaspoon salt 
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract 
  • 3 cups flour 

Directions: 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. 
  1. Cream together 1 cup (or 2 sticks) butter, 1 cup sugar, and ½ cup brown sugar until smooth with no pockets of butter. 
  1. Add in 2 tablespoons vanilla extract and 2 eggs. Beat together well. 
  1. Note: these are your “wet ingredients.” 
  1. Put 3 cups flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda into a separate bowl. Sift these so that there are no clumps. 
  1. Gradually mix the wet ingredients either by hand or with a mixer. 
  1. Stir in the chocolate chips once your wet and dry ingredients are fully mixed.  
  1. Note: the mixture should become a dough-like consistency that you can easily roll into shapes. 
  1. Spray your mugs with non-stick cooking spray or oil them. 
  1. Pack some cookie dough into your mugs until they’re about ¾ full. Pack the dough tightly into the mugs when you’re done filling them. 
  1. Bake for 30 minutes, then check them. 
  1. Note: the cooking time will vary based on the size of the mug you use. Check them often until they’re golden brown around the center. 
  1. Once they’re done cooking, let them cool for about 15 minutes so they can set. 
  1. Serve plain or with cream or ice cream and enjoy!
