It’s just not a Christmas celebration without some frosted sugar cookies! My Mug Sugar Cookies have all the ingredients of those sweet frosted sugar cookies, with out any of the fuss. Usually when making a traditionalsugar cookierecipe you have to get out your electric mixer, mix up the cookie dough, allow it to chill in the fridge, then you can finally roll them out and bake them. After baking sugar cookies they have to cool in order to frost them. Then you still have to decorate. Delicious, but a lot of trouble.
Imagine the same flavor and festive look made in minutes in a mug in the microwave. My Mug Sugar Cookies make this dream a reality! And you can even make one to share! Mix up a few simple ingredients in 2 mugs, microwave for just 1 minute each, and these cookies are ready for decorating! Talk about instant gratification! I cover my Mug Sugar Cookies with white frosting and tiny red and green sprinkles. They taste amazing and look adorable, what more could you want for a holiday treat?

OMGGG!! Gemma! We decided to try this as everything is still under lockdown and the kiddies are bored out of their minds…and they were AMAZING!!!! We could not get over how great it turned out…was a little apprehensive at first that it would taste like a sugar cookie. But WA-LAHHH!!! In fact, it was so good that my little one got up this morning and made one for herself after breakfast!! Thank you Gemma. We think your recipes are absolutely wonderful. Surviving the quarantine just a little better with your recipes! Stay well and safe. Blessings.

This is horrible. Does not taste like a cookie at all. Split recipe in half and omitted sprinkles but otherwise I followed recipe exactly. I am very disappointed. I do not mean to be biased but now your other mug cakes have a stained reputation. Will try another recipe though. 🙁

Wow! I was super bored during lockdown, so I decided to try this recipe and was not disappointed! I have a question, though. Since I usually make this recipe for myself, can I put the other serving into the fridge and cook it the next day?

I used this as a starting point to make a snickerdoodle cookie in a mug. I added a pinch of cream of tartar and baking powder and sprinkled the top with cinnamon and sugar on top. Didn’t really taste of snickerdoodle that much, but still all right.

I was out of butter and used canola oil for this recipe. I DEFINITELY advice against using oil, not sure what happened, but it was a mugful of rock hard cookie crumbs. Ive made this several times before with butter, it’s fantastic.

I have been making this recipe for YEARS and it is still the absolute best mug cookie I have ever had. I add vanilla, and swap 2tbsp of the white sugar for brown sugar. It’s absolutely perfect every single time. Swap sprinkles for chocolate chips and you’ve got the perfect choc chip mug cookie!

This is fantastic Gem ❤️ The only thing I have found is that for us, melting the butter for this sugar cookie, the gingerbread cookie, and the hot chocolate cookie, is a death sentence 😨 It hardened the edges on us! Maybe it’s because we live in Canada or the way the butter is made up here is different, I don’t know. But leaving it softened gave it the same softness as your mug chocolate chip cookie and mug peanut butter cookie 🤤 15/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
