Microwave Recipes in a Mug
I love microwave recipes in a mug because you can have one serving without making a whole batch (which can be a calorie danger zone, if you are like me and love to eat raw cookie dough).
If you love Sugar Cookies and sprinkles, you will really love this Sugar Cookie in a Mug recipe.
This sugar cookie in a cup is simple to make and doesn’t require too many ingredients. The original recipe I read said that sprinkles were optional, but I think they are absolutely required.
A few tips for your microwave cookie recipes:
- Be sure to spray your mug with cooking spray or wipe the inside with a bit of oil.
- Microwaves vary in how they cook so start with a shorter amount of time.
- Don’t overcook! The best part of this recipes is the soft center.
