Chocolate Chip Cookie Bar for One

Ever crave something sweet but don’t want a whole batch of cookies tempting you? That’s when you need a Chocolate Chip Cookie Bar for One!

My friend, Cindy Kerschner, of Cindy’s Recipes and Writings, recently published her first cookbook, The Cooking for One Cookbook. Perfect for singles with “appropriate proportions and deliciously diverse meals!” These Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars are the perfect example!!

Why You Should Make Small Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies

Whether you live alone, are craving something sweet but don’t want the temptation of a cake or dozens of cookies, or are cutting back on desserts after the holidays, small-batch dessert recipes are your friend! 

• These chocolate chip cookie bars are made in a ramekin and provide a yummy treat without a lot of effort.
• One bar is big enough for two helpings, and a generous helping for one!
• If you have no self-control after making a chocolate chip recipe, this will curtail the chance of overindulging!
• My husband, the chocolate chip cookie connoisseur in our household, gave them his seal of approval.

Chocolate Chip Cookie for One

I was hoping to entice my oldest to do some baking on his own, touting all the terrific recipe ideas in Cindy’s The Cooking for One Cookbook (affiliate link). Then, I asked, “Do you have flour at your house?” No, was his reply. “Do you have sugar?” No, he repeated. No need to ask about vanilla, brown sugar, or baking soda as I knew the answers.

I guess since his house is less than a mile away, he finds no need to bake when my kitchen is typically well stocked with sweets. BUT this homemade chocolate chip cookie recipe would be terrific if he was in dire straits, shaking from chocolate withdrawals! I also loved the sound of Cindy’s Mocha Fudge and Vanilla Mug Cake recipes. Maybe his kitchen is stocked for those recipes?!
