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!

Looks great! All I need now is a friend to share it with- shouldn’t be hard to find!
Oo this is perfect for me while hubby eats his kind 😉
Hey Katie,
Happy First day of summer! I promised you that if I came across a blog with a good mobile phone layout I would let you know. I found one that might be perfect for you 🙂 Check out http://www.neverhomemaker.com
The layout is great, you don’t have to zoom in or out. The blog is perfectly centered for the phone and the writing is large. I’ve also seen similar blogs that enable a drop down menu where you can click and go through the different categories on your blog (such as recipes, about, FAQ.)
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I will have to check it out next time I’m by a mobile phone (I don’t actually have an iphone). I have a friend who’s agreed to help me with some technical stuff… maybe he can help!
Love most of your recipes Katie, (maybe I’m the only non-fan of cookie dough and colored sprinkles?) would you consider adding a “print” button like other websites that offer great recipes do? I’m not printing on paper but would love to save your recipes for later in a doc to use when I’m not online. Most print functions on other pages allow you to save a doc without all of the extras that are on a page- they would include your logo, recipe, a photo and nutritional info, but not the adverts and comments. Thanks for considering this-
Hi CP,
I am working on it. The last plugin I installed caused major damage to the site, so I’m being careful and trying to figure out the best option first.
I was looking for something quick and easy and the first thing was to come here! Wasn’t disappointed! Just made those cookies and they are simply delicious!! I used skinny milk and brown sugar.
Here is how they turned out. http://instagram.com/p/a3rr03xEyP/
Yum!! Thanks Katie.
xx, Athena
Thank you so so much for making them!
Katie, this is like the fifth recipe that I’m making from your blog and I gotta say this is delicious!! Thank you for making healthier versions of my all time favorite desserts; as an individual with a family diabetic background your recipes have saved my health from my sweet tooth! 🙂
Aw thanks, Delia!
perfect! sometimes you just want one cookie! 🙂
These look amazing!!!
Which Vitamix do you have?
And do you recommend a certain one?
Thanks!
I have a very old model (5200 from ten years ago). Still works great, so no reason to spring for the highest-priced model :).
Thanks Katie!
I think I am going to get a reconditioned model from Vitamix.com!
So excited to use it on your recipes!
This cookie for two is perfect! I know I can’t be the only one who has a hard time staying away from cookies once I have made them. Two cookies to eat would be easier than trying to avoid huge batches of them.
OMG Katie, you are a genius! I am totally making this and I have all the ingredients already. Thank you!
Oh i need these today, now i know what my midnight snack will be 🙂
Hi Katie! I love your recipes and your personality; I would love to see you on YouTube in the near future! wink, wink
I saw this recipe after eating 3 oz of pasta and veggies. For some reason I decided that I had to make it right away and I swear I had plans to save three of them, but instead ended up having a 900 calorie lunch. (Im not feeling the guilt yet though!) I have a favorite chocolate chip cooke recipe but it makes 80 servings and whenever ive tried to split it, its never turned out right so i only make it on rare occasions! Thanks for this Katie 🙂
Katie,
A few commenters have hinted at having the same problem as I do, but I’m just going to come out and say it: I am a true-blue carbhydrate addict! I cannot control myself around sweets. Period. At all. Everything is much worse (harder to resist, easier to eat more, more headache/nausea-inducing, worse sugar hangover the next day) when the ingredients are refined, but even healthier versions of baked good with whole grain flours and raw/whole/low-glyc sugars are not something I can simply eat a normal portion of. So . . .
OH MY GOD A RECIPE FOR TWO FREAKIN’ COOKIES IS THE BEST THING EVER!!! THE BESTEST BEST! A life without sweets means eventually buying a huge package or making a huge batch (and then eating everything at once!), but this is THE PERFECT SOLUTION! Please please please never stop coming up with new ideas. Wow. Just . . . Wow!
PS: Best recipe for choc chip cookies is my own, which started out as Toll House’s but got so modified over time that it really is my own. Using molasses and agave makes them CHEWY!!! and undercooking them makes them soft, and then cranking the oven up high makes the outside just a tad crispy . . . MMM! But I will now use my mad cookie skills with this recipe instead!
does this recipe taste good if you just want to eat the dough not cookies?
Personally, I don’t think I’ve ever met a cookie dough I didn’t like :).
