Place 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a standard microwave-safe mug. Melt the butter in the microwave in 10-15 second intervals until fully liquid but not bubbling.
Add 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar to the melted butter. Stir well to combine.
Mix in 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 1 large egg yolk, stirring until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually add 5 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 0.125 teaspoons of baking soda, and 0.125 teaspoons of salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are fully combined with the wet ingredients.
Fold in 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Microwave the mug on high power for 40-60 seconds. Cooking times may vary based on your microwave, so check at the 40-second mark. The cookie should be set around the edges but still soft in the center.
Let the cookie cool for about 2 minutes before digging in. Enjoy it straight from the mug with a spoon!
