Or, rather, cookie.
Just in case you get bored of the Single-Lady Cupcakes.
Now you can have single-serving cookies too!

Single-Lady Cookies
(makes 1 big cookie)
- 5 level teaspoons flour (15g) (all-purpose, oat flour, or spelt)
- 1/16th tsp baking soda
- 1/16th tsp salt (omit if using margarine)
- 2 tsp oil or pre-melted margarine (or applesauce, only if you like cake-y cookies)
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- A little milk of choice, if needed (I use almond milk)
- handful chocolate chips (or raisins, nuts, etc.)
- sweetener (My testers liked 1 tsp brown + 1 tsp white sugar. You can easily sub coconut sugar or sucanat. Or try xylitol for a sugar-free cookie.)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine dry ingredients, then add wet and mix with a fork. Don’t add water. Form into a big cookie and smush. (Or make two little cookies.) Cook for 7-8 minutes.

A different single-lady cookie idea: Just make a regular batch of cookies, roll them into balls, and then freeze the balls. They’ll keep for at least a year, and you can defrost and bake them in whatever quantity you wish!

I have my cookie on the cooling rack right now! I am so impatient! This is actually the second recipe of yours I’ve made today. I made the boatmeal for the first time for my breakfast! It was so great, I’m gonna post my recipe and picture of it very soon! 🙂 Thank you so much!
Anyway, I would love to see a single-serving cinnamon roll recipe. I have never made cinnamon rolls because I don’t want a million leftovers, and because I don’t want to make a big ole batch! A single serving brownie would be a perfect thing to know how to make too, but I’ve tried and I can’t figure out the proper cooking time or container. I just think brownies need to be nestled next to each other in a big pan in order for it to work… Microwave ones aren’t quite the same either! 😉
Okay I have killed 3 minutes….almost time to eat my cookie! Thanks again!
I’m so excited to see your post… mainly because I’ve missed ALL your posts, in general. I’ve missed your smiling face :).
P.S. I just tried Dagoba 100% chocolate for the first time. If you can find this one, BUY it!!!! Sooooooo good 🙂 :).
Thank you for this recipe. There are times when I just want one cookie and don’t feel like making a big batch just for me. I’ll have to try this when all the cookies in my freezer are gone. 🙂
this is a brilliant idea! if you can come up with a cinammon bun for one, that would just be tops 😀
Thanks so much Katie.This will be dessert tonite.
Doughnut – Yes !
Cinnamon Roll – Yes !
Brownie – Yes !
Thank YOU for the single-cookie idea, Debbie :). It’s all thanks to you that I even decided to try it :).
Brownie please pleASE PLEASE!
I might quadruple this recipe and make a giant cookie!!!!
I would love to see a single serving cinnamon roll! Man those are the best 🙂
I don’t have a microwave, so I’m not much for microwaved recipes 😉
this is awesome!
I say single Cinnamon Roll or scone-type something!
🙂
i would die and go to heaven if you could come up with a GF cinnny roll, that’s also vegan. And doesnt involve 17 milion steps 🙂 I have seen recipes for them but they are uber complicated AND involve using GF flour which usually tastes like gritty sandpaper to me 🙂 The feather in your hat would be if you could do this as a a single serving.
I still dont know how to make light/fluffy GF pastries that dont taste like cardboard or sandy/gritty. I dunnno, just dont love GF mixes.
This cookie, job WELL DONE!!! Vegan and wheatfree, nice work! If i was at home and had my vita handy, I’d grind up oats and see where that got me with it. And trial the nuke-box, too. But I am traveling right now 🙂
Oh my gosh, I hear you, Averie. I am in love with cinnamon rolls, but haven’t had one in ages because they’re just too much darn work to make! Lazy chefs like me would just rather make something that takes 5 minutes. As good as cinnamon rolls are, I just can’t be bothered… I’m too lazy!
I love that you call it “single lady!” Hehe.
Thank you so much for this recipe Katie. I was just thinking about baking cookies. 😀 I think a single serving brownie would be amazing!
