Ingredients For Single Serving Chocolate Chip Cookie
Scroll down to the recipe card to get the full recipe with measurements.
- Oat Flour: A nutrient-rich, naturally gluten-free flour that gives the cookie structure.
- Almond Flour: Gives the cookie a soft, chewy texture.
- Almond Butter: I personally love the neutral flavor almond butter gives this cookie, but any other nut butter will work. Peanut butter would taste delicious in these too for a peanut butter version!
- Maple Syrup: Adds natural sweetness.
- Vanilla Extract: Optional, but highly recommended adding it for flavor!
- Chocolate Chips: Use vegan chocolate chips to keep this recipe dairy-free, or use chunks of your favorite dark chocolate!
How To Make A Single Serve Chocolate Chip Cookie
- Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Dough: In a bowl, combine all the ingredients (except the chocolate chips). Stir until a soft cookie dough forms, then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake: Roll the dough into a ball and flatten onto the baking sheet. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool & Enjoy: Let the cookie cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt for the ultimate sweet-salty bite!
Tips For Making This Single Serve Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
- Extra Sweet: This cookie isn’t super sweet (just sweet enough for me with the chocolate chips!), so feel free to add a little extra maple syrup.
- Slightly Underbake: Remove the cookie from the oven just before it’s done for a soft and chewy center. It will continue to cook slightly as it cools on the baking sheet.
- Customize It: Swap the almond butter for peanut butter, or add chopped nuts for extra crunch.
- Add Flaky Sea Salt: A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top adds that sweet and salty element we all love!
FAQs
Can I make more cookies by doubling or tripling this recipe?
Yes! You can easily double or triple the ingredients to make more cookies. Just be sure to space them out on the baking sheet so they bake evenly.
Can I make this cookie without almond butter?
Absolutely! You can substitute any nut or seed butter, like peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
How do I make this cookie softer or crispier?
For a softer, chewier cookie, slightly underbake it and let it cool on the baking sheet. For a crispier cookie, bake it a couple of minutes longer until the edges are golden brown.

Perfect for when you don’t want to make a whole batch! I used cashew butter and made it slightly underbaked because I prefer an ooey gooey cookie texture. Definitely keeping this in my regular rotation of desserts!

I absolutely love this cookie recipe! By far the best single serve cookie I’ve ever tried. Love that it is made with simple, healthy and wholesome ingredients and comes together so quickly. Great for satisfying those sweet cravings. I made it in the airfryer and it turned out great (I did 350 for 7-8 minutes). Delicious!
Aww, this makes me so happy to hear, Olivia! 😊 I was so excited for you to try it! Love that it worked in the air fryer too — thanks so much for sharing! 💛
