Hi Bold Bakers!

Hi Bold Bakers!

Eating a warm, freshly baked cookie is one of life’s simple pleasures, right? It is for me–they are my Kryptonite. I am always coming across great cookie recipe to bake, however it is just my husband and I in my house to eat them, and I have little self control. So, my solution is why not get the best of both worlds: a Giant Single-Serving Cookie for 1!!! Genius! I get what I want without eating a whole batch. My sweet tooth is satisfied and it only takes a few minutes to make. It’s a win, win, win!

A few weeks ago I made my first Giant Single-Serving Cookies: Chocolate Chip, Sugar Cookie and Double Chocolate Chip and the response was INSANE! Viewers loved them, and within hours of the video going live you sent me your own cookie photos. And you wanted more! So, per your requests I made Oatmeal Raisin, Snickerdoodle and Peanut Butter & Jelly cookies.

The reason why a recipe for 1 single-serving cookie is so great is simply: It requires a handful of ingredients, it takes minutes to make AND it will be ready to bake before the oven preheats. Whether you are living in a dorm with a toaster oven, want an after school snack, or simply want to try and portion control you sweets these cookies will work really well for you.

Fabulous! For portion control these recipes can’t be beat. How about a recipe for a giant shortbread cookie? Thanks so much.

Hi Fina. Each recipe yields one cookie. If you want to add cinnamon, I’d say add a tiny pinch since it’s only for one cookie. The amount of baking soda is indicated in the recipe above. I hope this helps.

I made the chocolate chip cookie…SO GOOD! I took an extra step and browned the butter beforehand to make it extra yummy. I didn’t have chocolate chips so used a dark chocolate bar I chopped up. Doubled the recipe and it made 4 cookies. Will make again!
