1. Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In a microwave-safe mixing bowl, melt the butter (about 20 seconds). Add both sugars, stirring until smooth. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients
- Add flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips or other add-ins.
3. Microwave or Bake
- For a super-quick version, spoon 1-2 tablespoons of dough into small mounds on a microwave-safe plate and microwave each cookie for about 40-60 seconds (until set).
- Alternatively, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes for a golden finish.
4. Enjoy!
- Let cookies cool slightly and enjoy your quick, warm, and delicious cookies right away.
