Oatmeal Crunch Cookies in a Mug! (recipe)

Yesterday I shared a recipe for Molten Marshmallow Fudge Cake in a Mug. While I remember something similar from my childhood, I had forgotten how yummy and fun these are to make...and now I am kind of hooked on these easy peasy single serving fresh from the (microwave) oven treats! So, of course, I had to try more...but this time a cookie!

The cookie is very much inspired by Melissa at No. 2 Pencil. As I searched for a basic cookie recipe (in a mug) too alter and make my own, Pinterest, and basically everyone else said Melissa's recipe was the bomb. So that is where I started.

This combination of ingredients is from one of my most favorite-est cookies in the universe! (which I have never shared on the blog...tragic!)

Oatmeal Crunch Cookie in a Cup


INGREDIENTS 
  • 1 Tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg yolk
  • dash of salt
  • 3 Tablespoons All Purpose Flour 
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons of Oatmeal (I used Old Fashioned Oats...you can use what you have on hand)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons of Corn Flakes

  • Add the salt; mix well.

  2. Holly, I love oatmeal cookies too. Do you think we could pass this one off as being "healthy." Well, it does, after all, have oats in it. Nay, but it's sure to be tasty!

  8. Hm my microwave took longer, and mine tastes or seems more like an oat muffin, which is ok, but I wonder what I did wrong? I measured the flour... Thnx

  9. Addicted2reliv:
    Hmmm...each microwave takes a different amount of time. Did you cook for more than one minute? That could be the issue #1. Even if the top of the cookie does not look as done at 1 minute, let it cool and try it (kind of like when you take a cookie right out of the oven and it look moist still). The consistency/texture is thicker than what a cookie would be because it is in a mug...but maybe try a little less flour (2 T) and then add just a bit at a time to a more cookie like batter.

  14. I had some museli (this type had some raspberries and chocolate in it) and it was so delightful! Totally hit the spot. Also, I omitted the brown sugar and used a teaspoon of honey. Thanks for posting :)
