Satisfy your chocolate craving with double chocolate chip cookie in a mug. Add cocoa powder and a hint of coffee to heighten the chocolate flavor!
Want a quick and easy way to satisfy your chocolate craving? Try a double chocolate chip cookie in a mug. This cookie is soft, chewy and packed with chocolate chips. Like most of my chocolate desserts, a little bit of coffee in the batter will intensify the chocolate flavor. So go find your favorite mug and get ready to enjoy a chocolate cookie in minutes!
How to make a double chocolate chip cookie in a mug
You will need the following ingredients to make a cookie in a mug: butter, sugar, brown sugar, egg yolk, vanilla, cocoa powder, espresso powder, flour and chocolate chips. For the espresso powder, I suggest using a dark roast such as Boyer’s Rocky Mountain Thunder.
Start by melting the butter in the mug in the microwave. Then mix in the sugar and brown sugar until well combined. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and mix until incorporated. Next, stir in the dry ingredients (cocoa powder, espresso powder, flour), then finish off with the chocolate chips. Once all the ingredients are combined, all you have to do is microwave the mug for 40 to 60 seconds! How simple is that?
Why does coffee enhance the flavor of chocolate?
Unsweetened cocoa powder is somewhat bitter on its own, but adding coffee or espresso powder intensifies the chocolate flavor. It makes chocolate desserts more, well, chocolate-y without adding coffee flavor. Just a ¼ teaspoon of espresso powder in this double chocolate chip cookie recipe brings out the rich chocolate flavor provided by the cocoa and chocolate chips.
I suggest a dark roast such as Boyer’s Rocky Mountain Thunder Coffee. The bold, rich roast works best with chocolate. I used whole beans and ground them into fine espresso powder. If you don’t have a coffee bean grinder, I suggest using 1/2 teaspoon of strongly brewed coffee as a substitute.
