Making Chocolate Chip Cookies for One

If you only want a single cookie, you can scale this recipe down by dividing all ingredients by four. Simply use a small portion of an egg or substitute with a teaspoon of milk to maintain the texture.

Can I Make Chocolate Chip Cookies Without Brown Sugar?

You can substitute brown sugar with an equal amount of granulated white sugar for a crispier cookie. Note that brown sugar provides the classic chewiness and deep molasses flavor that defines a traditional chocolate chip cookie.

Is a Single Serve Cookie Microwave Method Possible?

While traditional oven baking is recommended for the best texture, you can adapt this dough for the microwave. Place a single scoop of dough in a greased mug and heat for 45 to 60 seconds until set.

Frequently asked questions

Can I freeze this small batch dough?
Yes, you can scoop the dough into balls and freeze them on a tray before transferring to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen by adding 2 minutes to the bake time.
Why use only the egg yolk?
Using only the egg yolk adds extra fat to the dough, which results in a richer, chewier cookie compared to using the whole egg.
