Notes

Notes & Substitutions

If you are nut free, you can make this vegan cookie in a mug recipe with gluten free flour. I've tried it with Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Flour, and it turned out wonderful! It won't be paleo though because it's made with grains.
Maple syrup or honey can be used in place of coconut sugar. However, if you do this, I would reduce the almond butter to 2 tbsps.
Make sure to use a mug that's big enough for the batter to rise about 1 inch.
I like to add chocolate chips on top after the cookie is done cooking to make it look more like a chocolate chip cookie. However, this is optional, and you can feel free to mix in all 2 tbsp to the batter.
Serve with a scoop of ice cream, extra chocolate chips, and additional toppings, if desired.
Different microwaves may adjust the cooking time, so keep that in mind when making it.
