Single Serve Cookie
Some days, nothing slaps harder than a giant, single serving chocolate chip cookie. I mean, Crumbl has literally made a fortune on this concept. And while some days I’m willing to pay the price, most days I’m not. Which is why this single serving cookie recipe is a MUST HAVE in any virtual recipe box.
When the craving strikes you no longer need to fork over your wallet and wait 45 minutes until a delivery person can drop off a cookie at your door. Now you can whip up one of these bad boys with ingredients you’ve already paid for and be devouring it before you would get the text saying, “driver name is on their way!” And the best news? This delicious, gooey, melty single serve chocolate chip cookie is even better than the ones money can buy.
Ingredients in this Single Serve Cookie
- Salted butter, room temperature – I always use salted butter, but you can use unsalted and add an extra pinch of salt to the dough as needed.
- Brown sugar
- Granulated sugar
- Egg yolk – You only need the yolk because we are making a single serving of dough.
- Vanilla
- Flour
- Cornstarch – We add this so you don’t have to buy cake flour. You’re welcome.
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Chocolate chips – Use your favorite brand and flavor!
How to Make a Single Serving Chocolate Chip Cookie
- Preheat the oven to 400° F.
- In a bowl, whisk together the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until completely incorporated.
- Add in the egg yolk and vanilla, stirring well.
- Using a silicone spatula, add in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Mix until a dough forms. You may need to finish the mixing with your hand to get all of the flour completely incorporated.
- Mix in the chocolate chips.
- Gather the dough and roll into either one giant ball or split the dough into two equal sized, smaller, cookies.
- Pinch and dimple the dough before placing it on a silicone lined cookie sheet.
- Bake at 400° F for about 12 – 14 minutes (if baking 1 large cookie) or until the cookie is golden brown across the top of the cookie. For one large cookie. For the smaller cookies it will be about 8-10 minutes.
Are there any variations of the single-serve chocolate chip cookie recipe?
You can add in extra toppings (like different flavors of chocolate chips) or candy bar pieces to really push these cookies over the edge.
Can I add a scoop of ice cream to the single-serve cookie after baking?
YES YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN (& definitely should)! Adding ice cream to this gooey cookie can only make this into a show-stopping dessert.
