My Favorite Single Serving Cookie Recipes!

I love a great single serving cookie recipe. These recipes are mixed up quickly in a small bowl and baked for a tasty treat. It’s dessert–for one! Between my two websites, I’ve accumulated a handful of recipes that are quick, easy, and give you the perfect amount of cookie to satisfy your craving. Pro Tip: Each of these recipes is about the size of a large bakery-style cookie.

Single serving cookies have seen a surge in popularity the past few years. Popular bakeries like Crumbl have built a huge following with their unique cookie flavors. Fans seem to love choosing just one cookie to enjoy. This is a big difference from baking at home, where you usually bake a whole batch (24+ cookies) and have to contend with leftovers.

A single serve treat is perfect for those times when you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to deal with dozens of extras. It’s also a great option for people who live alone or have smaller households.

And a little bonus? One of my favorite things about these recipes is that you can skip the stand mixer or electric beaters. If you need more recipes without a mixer, don’t miss my recent roundup of Cookie Recipes Without An Electric Mixer.

5 Great Reasons to Try Single Serving Cookies

1. No leftovers: Bake one perfect cookie, no leftovers. Excellent for solo bakers and small households!
2. Customizable: Experiment with your favorite mix-ins—extra chocolate chips, nuts, or a pinch of sea salt.
3. No electric mixer needed: These are simple, no-fuss recipes that don’t require special equipment.
4. Quick and easy: It will only take around 10 minutes of active time and 15 minutes of bake time to make any of these recipes.
5. Freshly baked: No worries about your favorite cookie bakery being closed when a craving strikes– now you can enjoy a warm, homemade cookie whenever you want.
