It was a rainy afternoon, and Lauren was curled up on the couch with a book, craving something sweet but not wanting to bake an entire batch of cookies. Cassidy, ever the problem-solver, suggested they try making a single-serving cookie in a mug. They rummaged through the pantry, gathered a few ingredients, and within minutes, a warm, gooey cookie was ready to enjoy. It was the perfect treat for a cozy day indoors.
Since then, this mug cookie has become a staple in their home. Lauren loves adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top for that sweet-salty combo, while Cassidy prefers hers with a dollop of peanut butter mixed in. It's their go-to recipe when they want a quick dessert without the fuss.
