Description

This Single Serve Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is a quick and easy treat perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without the need for a batch. Made with simple pantry ingredients, it comes together in just 15 minutes and results in a warm, soft, and gooey cookie that’s baked to perfection.


Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 12 teaspoons milk (as needed)

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ⅛ teaspoon baking soda

Add-ins

  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance flavor.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour and baking soda. If the dough feels crumbly, add milk one teaspoon at a time to reach a soft, pliable consistency suitable for shaping.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough to ensure every bite has melty chocolate.
  5. Shape the Cookie: Form the dough into a ball and place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten the ball to shape the cookie, but take care not to press too thin.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown while the center remains soft and slightly underbaked for gooeyness.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Remove the cookie from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Adjust milk quantity gradually to avoid overly wet dough.
  • Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven; check for golden edges as a sign of doneness.
  • Use parchment paper or lightly grease the baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Serve warm to enjoy the melty chocolate chips and soft texture.
