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!

Yamm, a perfect cookie is FULL of chocolate, chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, possibly chocolate spread and cacao powder, chewy, moist, but a little bit crunchy too if that even makes sense. I love your recipes for 1-2 people so I will make this one next.
Oh Katie. Thank you for such a superb recipe. I decided to go ahead and use the bobs red mill gluten free flour and they turned out heavenly.i did not use xanthum gum. They were crispy on outside and goey inside even the next day.
Thank you
Katie,
While I appreciate the calorie count information, why do you omit the oil, sugar, and chocolate chips? Seems like those are pretty key ingredients here.
Confused… Those are not omitted.
OMG… I thought it read, “it does NOT include the oil, sugar, and choc chips”… I can’t read… sorry!!!
Holy Yumminess, Batman! I love this recipe. I don’t know what it is about coconut oil in a cookie that makes it taste like cookie dough even when cooked.
There are lots of different recipes but I’m interested in those recipes that opt for healthier options. At least they care for the welfare of other people.
I think I need a toaster oven . . . if it wasn’t so late – and so hot! – I’d make these RIGHT NOW! I’ve been gluten free for almost two months, and while the bread issue isn’t a problem (oddly enough) I really miss cookies.
Maybe tomorrow . . .
Whoa! Pretty easy to make. I never thought that it would be that easy. I always saw cookies as difficult to make but I was wrong. Thanks for this.
WONDERFUL! It’s just my husband and I with no kids and neighbours who seem to be never home so this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I have some 6 cupcake recipes but even that lasts a week 🙁 Perhaps we need to gym & eat more 😉
Brilliant!
Hi! First time on this blog, and I’m really loving all the recipes! These seem really fun and easy to make and bake, but however, I currently am out of vanilla extract and cannot get some. Does anyone have substitutions?
I’d wait until you can get to a store to buy some (any grocery store will have it). Otherwise the taste might not be very good. But you can always try!
You can try other extracts as well….like almond. I personally prefer to make my own vanilla….but that takes time & supplies.
Just tried making these today cuz i really needed cookie 😉 and omg it tasted so yummyyyy crispy!! Subbed the evaporated sugar for stevia though and its really nice!! ;D healthy cookies!! In love!! Thanks katie!!
I love this recipe – I’ve made it a couple times and it always makes the perfect number of cookies. But is it just me or is this recipe not linked in the archived recipes section? I went looking for it today to make them again and couldn’t find it under single serving desserts or under cookie recipes!
It is in the recipe section under “healthy cookies.” 🙂
These are delicious & easy to make!
Katie!
Made these today- actually delicious! Thank you! xxxxxx
OH MY YUM! I’m breaking my low carb diet to try one of these. Pre diet days….I could whip up a whole batch of oatmeal cookies & have them gone within a few days. A 2 cookie recipe is really clever. Sugar & grains are addicting.
I used homemade oat flour, homemade vanilla, & Enjoy Life chocolate chips (allergy free). I added a bit more oat flour b/c I didn’t like how oily the dough was….although it tasted wonderful raw! Still oily, so I went ahead & baked them. They do fall apart a bit, but maybe that’s b/c I couldn’t wait until they cooled down…or maybe due to the extra oat flour! Yum.
These were SO tasty! Two questions… 1) Could I add a little bit of egg to help bind the mixture? 2) If so, could I reduce the amount of oil? Thank you for the recipe! My husband and I were happy campers! 🙂
Sorry I’ve never tried so I really don’t know.
Have you tried them with gluten free flour? I’m new to GF cooking and they tasted chalky/floury…
GF flour is not an option listed in the recipe. If you need it to be gf, why not try using the oat flour listed in the recipe? Just buy certified oat flour.
Obviously it isn’t listed. I was hoping (having said I’m new to GF cooking) for a suggestion about it…
