Notes

*Cook time will vary based on microwave and mug size/shape used. Start with 45 seconds and add more time, if necessary. It's better to have an under "baked" cookie. The longer it cooks, the more cake-like it will be.
Nutritional information is for 1/2 the mug cookie. Trevor and I like sharing it with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.
