I love this single serve chocolate chip cookie recipe because it gives me a warm, fresh cookie without having to make a whole batch. My kids get so excited when they see me pull out the ingredients for this one, and it is perfect for a quick treat after school or a late night snack. This recipe uses simple ingredients you probably already have, and it is portion controlled so you do not end up eating a dozen cookies. It is a great way to enjoy a classic dessert without the guilt, and you can easily swap in whole wheat flour or dark chocolate chips for a little extra fiber and antioxidants.

This single serve chocolate chip cookie recipe is my go to when I need a quick and satisfying dessert. It is perfect for a quiet night in or as a fun activity with the kids. I love that it gives you a warm, homemade cookie without the temptation of leftovers, making it a great choice for any day.

1. Can I use margarine instead of butter?

Yes, you can use margarine, but the cookie may be slightly less flavorful and a bit more spread out. Butter gives the best taste and texture.

2. Can I make this cookie without an egg yolk?

Yes, you can substitute the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of milk or water. The cookie will be a little less rich but still delicious.

3. Can I double this recipe?

Absolutely. Just double all the ingredients and bake the cookies on separate baking sheets. The baking time may need to be increased by a minute or two.

4. Can I use whole wheat flour?

Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all purpose flour. The cookie will be denser and have a nuttier flavor. You may need to add an extra teaspoon of milk if the dough seems too dry.

5. How do I store leftover cookie dough?

You can store the dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can bake it straight from the fridge, just add a minute to the baking time.
