Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookie for One

The perfect recipe when you need a single serve cookie fast. This almond flour cookie is grain-free, oil-free, and packed with vegan dark chocolate chips!

Hi friends, how’s it going?

My cookbook manuscript is due in exactly one week so the nerves here are palpable. 

M got me a beautiful new standing desk as an early birthday present that honestly couldn’t have come at a better time.

It’s just my style– sturdy, wooden, and rustic, with a spacious top and a lever that adjusts the height. 

It will be put to good use as I feverishly finalize my manuscript writing this week and prepare to photograph the recipes next week! 

Yes, my birthday is coming soon (April 2nd!); the second birthday spent in quarantine. 

This past weekend was my 1-year quarantine anniversary, marking one whole year since I started staying home. 

I felt inspired to put together a post on Instagram with some of my thoughts after 365 days of quarantine life.  

But despite the heaviness of the past year and stress of the book, I feel lightness on the horizon. 

This week has beautiful weather forecast, I signed up for my vaccine,  oh, and I perfected the art of making a single serve cookie. 

This Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookie for One is ready in 15 minutes for nights when you need a single cookie fast! 

I had way too much fun recipe testing desserts for the cookbook. 

With the kitchen counters covered in bars, cookies, and bites, M asks with raised eyebrows, “Who is going to eat all of these sweets?” 

But he can’t ask that about this one, guys. 

This recipe was initially intended for the cookbook. 

I loved the idea of having a single serve cookie recipe for nights when you want a cookie without all of the leftovers laying around.

However, it occurred to me that this kind of recipe *probably* isn’t the best for a vegan meal prep cookbook. 

Bulk and portable desserts, yes. 

Cookies that are devoured in a single serving, no.

Which works out beautifully because I can share it with you now so you don’t have to wait for the cookbook release later this year! 

It’s totally vegan, grain-free, oil-free, and refined-sugar-free with just a handful of whole food ingredients. 

A simple cookie calls for simple ingredients.

Here’s what you need to make it:

• ground flaxseed
• superfine almond flour 
• vegan chocolate chips 
• pure maple syrup
• almond butter
• unsweetened almond milk 

That’s it!

This cookie is incredibly  easy to mix up in just one bowl.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper for minimal cleanup. 

Mix the ground flaxseed and filtered water together in a small mixing bowl and allow to sit for ~5 minutes to gel.

Next, add in the superfine almond flour, vegan chocolate chips, pure maple syrup, almond butter, and unsweetened almond milk and stir well to combine.

Use a spoon or spatula to form the batter into one large cookie on the lined baking sheet.

Bake the cookie for 14-15 minutes until it’s golden brown underneath and the edges.

Remove your solo cookie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before digging in. 

Enjoy it immediately with a glass of almond milk and zero leftovers!

Make this Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookie for One whenever you’re craving a cookie without making a whole batch.

It’s perfectly sweet and chewy with hints of almond butter and bursts of dark chocolate. 

Almond butter can be substituted with any nut or seed butter that you have on hand. 

You can also swap out maple syrup for date paste or another liquid sweetener. 

Don’t skimp on the dark chocolate chips here, friends!  

I like to top my cookie with even more chocolate chips on top before baking for aesthetics. 

Enjoy!
