There are times when you just need a cookie NOW.
Today’s recipe yields two big cookies, similar in taste and texture to the ones you’d buy at the mall, but much healthier! The cookies come together almost instantly—no stand mixer needed, and no rolling out dozens of cookie dough balls. These are super soft and gooey, straight out of the oven!
Share with a friend, or eat one now and keep the other one for later. There’s nothing like going through the day knowing a soft chocolate chip cookie is waiting for you at home!
How to make Chocolate Chip Cookies for Two
Category: Healthy Cookies.
- 3 tbsp plus 1 tsp spelt or all-purpose flour (or 4 tbsp oat flour) (30g)
- scant 1/8 tsp salt
- scant 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp coconut sugar (or regular brown sugar)
- 2 tsp evaporated cane juice (or regular sugar)
- 3-4 tsp chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp plus 1 tsp coconut or vegetable oil (14g)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp milk of choice
Preheat a toaster oven to 325 degrees F, or a regular oven to 350, and grease a tray. In a cereal bowl, combine first six ingredients and stir extremely well. Add wet, and stir to form a dough. Break dough into two equal balls (or 4 balls, if you’d prefer smaller cookies), and smush into cookie shapes. Place cookies with some space between them, as they will grow as they cook. Bake 11 minutes in the toaster, or 7-8 minutes in an oven. They should still be a little undercooked when you take them out, so let them sit 5 minutes before removing from the tray.

Question of the Day:
Do you have a favorite “tried and true” chocolate chip cookie recipe?
In terms of how to make chocolate chip cookies, everyone seems to have a different idea about what makes the perfect chocolate chip cookie. Some people like soft cookies, some prefer crispy cookies. Some swear by adding cornstarch to their chocolate chip cookies. I’ve never tried it, but supposedly it makes the cookies extra chewy. For a bigger-batch recipe, I use my recipe for Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies, which yields cookies that are somehow chewy, soft, and crispy all at the same time!

Yes!! I had found another recipe for two chocolate chip cookies (which I haven’t gotten around to trying yet), but I was hoping you would make one without eggs! Thanks Katie!
Oooh….cookies! Love this 🙂
This is perfect for my picnic date I have planned for tonight :D. Gourmet Mac n’ Cheese, with two perfect cookies for dessert? Can’t wait to make them!
Out of curiosity, have you tried substituting stevia or truvia for the plain sugar?
Sorry, I haven’t.
I made these tonight with a couple substitutions..
no sugar(well, no ACTUAL sugar..)
used stevia(about 2/3 of a little packet)
and I used 6 tbsps of sweetened(thus some sugar) shredded coconut
I also used coconut milk, and doubled the recipe.
AND…I baked them on the bbq! 😉 they turned out heavenly! 🙂
Baked on BBQ? How did that happen? I would love to try that sometime, just because my little toaster oven can only bake around 6 of these cookies at once.
Place them in a toaster!? You mean the same thing I use to toast bread? If yes, that would be amazing! Better than wasting energy heating up my oven just for 2 cookies
I try not to waste energy 🙂
P.s. I live in Australia so we might be using different terminology
I’m pretty sure that’s supposed to be toaster OVEN!
Yes, sorry for the typo 😕
Those cookies look perfect! Yum!
Thanks for this recipe! It was great to make only 2 cookies! I didn’t have any chocolate chips (*gasp*), so I used pecans instead. Delicious!
Thank you so much for trying them so quickly! 🙂
Oh these are PERFECT for my husband and me. There’s so many times that we want a chocolate chip cookie, but don’t want a few dozen of them around the house. Looks great!
I’ve always preferred my cookies to be a little crispy… not the hard, chip-a-tooth-and-crumbs-fall-everywhere type, but with a slight crust to the outside and chewy on the inside. I know lots of people love the still gooey cookies straight from the oven, but not me. I do love the idea of doing these in a toaster oven, though! It always seems like a waste of electricity to heat up my huge oven for a small batch of baked goods, so the toaster oven is perfect. Sadly I don’t have one, but my boyfriend does! 🙂
I like GOOEY cookies . . . My dad makes the best. I have no idea what he does but no matter how many times I watch him and use the exact same recipe, mine never turn out the same . . . It’s not just taste either, his are gooey thick goodness. Mine are are flat and crispy . . . and though my husband loves flat and crispy I do not . . . 🙂
