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!

mine turned out great! i used peanut flour and whole wheat pastry flour and added chocolate chips and nuts. it was delish (i think. i definitely inhaled it in .8 seconds, so the taste probably didn’t even really register. =/)
is there a wet ingredient missing – mine is just a bunch of crumbs!
Oh no :(.
The recipe definitely isn’t missing anything, as a lot of people have already made the cookie with good results. But what ingredients did you use? Did you maybe use margarine and not pre-melt it? Hopefully we can figure it out :).
Thanks! I used margarine and ended up having to add water. in my second try I used maple syrup and added apple sauce to make it consistent. I guess it’s just playing around w/ it a bit!
If you use margarine, you DEFINITELY have to pre-melt it first. Otherwise you have no liquid.
This looks great! How DO you come up with your recipes? And who are these “taste-testers” ? Elves? :)…I want to be a taste-tester…and an Elf…y’know, just sayin’….
Do you not use any oil? A little bit of fat is good for you though! Or melted nut butter or coconut butter perhaps?
Also, have you ever subbed Stevia in recipes for sugar? I did a couple of recipes without sugar and just added a Stevia packet – seemed okay, but I’m not sure if it’s “correct”.
LOVE your blog! (and the colors)
Hello Katie! I was wondering…if you make a batch and freeze the balls…well, I was wondering how to do that! Would I wrap each ball in plastic wrap, or give each its own ziploc bag, or…? Thank you! I just found your blog yesterday and I LOVE it!
Hey Sarah! I’m so glad you found me :).
We usually just put all the balls together in a ziploc bag and then freeze them. Because they’re frozen, they don’t stick to each other when you go to take one out. 🙂
I just made this cookie and changed it into a Single Dad Cookie 🙂 It turned out great and so I blogged about it here: http://loveandfruits.blogspot.com/2011/01/single-dad-cookie.html. Thanks so much for a recipe like this! I know you said no water, but I did add some almond milk and it turned out fine it wasn’t dry like you said it would be with water in a comment before.
I made this using a combination of brown rice flour and tapioca flour, oil and cacao nibs instead of chocolate chips. I squashed it all into s small, fairly fat disc and cooked on a sprayed plate for 1 minute in the microwave. Delicious, and so convenient! And I don’t have to feel bad about eating the whole batch, haha!
i tried this for the first time – i used quinoa flour and well lets just say you made my night.
(as you have made many of my nights) 🙂
thank you for all the spectacular “single-lady” recipes. you are Amazing! XXO
Do a single serving brownie! Or single serving ice cream, or single serving banana bread! 🙂
Banana Bread: https://lett-trim.today/2011/02/18/banana-bread-for-one/%3C/a%3E%3Cbr /> And I agree about the brownie! It must be done! 🙂
just made this! i doubled the recipe and threw in raisins and oatmeal instead of chocolate chips. came out a little crumbly but still delicious and just what i needed. mmmmmmmmm. 🙂
Oh my gosh, a single-lady oatmeal raisin cookie actually sounds even better to me than a chocolate chip one right now! 🙂
I vote that you do a Cinnamon Roll…and dare you to either make a gluten free version or a raw version!!!
