How to Make a Personal Chocolate Chip Cookie
To reward myself for surviving midterms, I wanted something sweet. Hey, we all deserve a treat once in a while… or every time we get that pesky essay done at the last minute. However, leaving my apartment in my pajamas wasn’t a very appealing option, so I decided to try out a new recipe.
Instead of baking a whole batch of cookies or buying a dozen from your local bakery, throw this simple cookie together in just a few minutes. As a bonus, it’s also a bit healthier; if you’re not familiar with white whole wheat flour, it’s a fiber-filled baking revelation that can replace all-purpose flour without affecting texture.
Soon, you’ll have one big cookie all to yourself. Because portion control is a thing — but, more importantly, cravings are real.
Single-Serve Chocolate Chip Cookie
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Servings: 1
- Easy
Ingredients
- 4 1/2 tablespoon white whole wheat flour
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1-2 tablespoon semisweet chocolate chips
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
Step 3
Add in vanilla extract, butter, and milk. Stir until thoroughly incorporated.
Step 4
Stir in chocolate chips.
Step 5
Transfer dough to prepared baking sheet and form into a cookie.
#SpoonTip: The dough will be a bit crumbly, but don’t worry — a little molding with your hands will do the trick.
Step 6
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until firm and slightly golden. Let cool for a few minutes before devouring with a glass of milk.
#SpoonTip: If the craving can’t wait, microwave on a plate for 45 seconds to a minute instead of baking in the oven.
