In the mood for a treat, but don’t want to make an entire batch of dessert?
My Chocolate Chip Cookie for One will hit the spot when you’re craving a little something sweet.
Chocolate Chip Cookie for One
This is one of the low carb, gluten free desserts I had to create for my friend Deb when she told me she was looking for single serve treats.
Her goal? To avoid having lots of tempting food around the house. Like me, Deb knows everything tastes better from scratch, hence this homemade dessert.
I’m very excited to show her, and you, how to make your own chocolate chip cookie for one.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Calories
As you can see, the macros in this chocolate chip cookie are fairly reasonable for a sweet dessert.
If you would like to use this very judiciously on a Keto Diet, it would be better to use a half teaspoon of maple syrup, rather than a whole.
I tested it that way and it was delicious, though much more of a shortbread cookie than a classic chocolate chipper.
Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookie with Almond Flour
Made with a base of almond flour, using only one-half teaspoon of sweetener (maple syrup) it is as low carb as I can go without using ingredients such as erythritol, which I can’t digest.
Kitchen Scale
When I make this cookie, I weigh out the ingredients on my kitchen scale. As an aside, a kitchen scale is also super handy for making my Homemade Electrolyte Powder.
If you don’t weigh your ingredients for this cookie recipe, make sure that your tablespoons of almond flour are very level.
Small Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you’d like to make small batch chocolate chip cookies, simply multiply this recipe by two, three, or four, to make the desired amount of cookies.
Gluten Free Cookie Dough
Looking for a bit of healthy cookie dough to munch on? Confession! I like cookie dough more than the actual cookie! What about you?
Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies
Most of my cookie recipes are vegan and these eggless chocolate chip cookies are no exception.
Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
When it comes to chocolate chips, I use Nuts.com mini chocolate chips in this recipe. The mini chips are optimal for good distribution throughout the single serve cookie.

I just made one, with some adjustments: I used Miyoko’s Vegan Butter because I don’t eat dairy; a Keto Maple Syrup alternative called Syrlo that contains Allulose, not the dreaded Erythritol and a dash of powdered vanilla since I only had regular liquid Stevia on hand. After baking for 15 minutes I popped it into the freezer for a few minutes to crisp up. It was nicely crunchy on the edges and delightfully chewy in general, totally like a cookie, not like a shortbread at all. I don’t know if that’s due to my using the different ingredients I did. Anyway, it was perfect! Thank you!
Elana says
Melissa, thanks for letting me know this recipe is perfect.
Donna L Stearns & Yaakov Levine says
Elana, Your timing with this single cookie recipe was perfect. We needed a cookie (x2) to help our hearts after our beloved dog gained her wings last week. I tripled the recipe and made 2 big cookies. They were perfect and so delicious. Will definitely make them again.
XOXO Donna
Elana says
Donna, thanks for letting me know these are perfect and delicious!
Wendy Darrow says
Hi Elana! Is it OK to substitute vanilla extract for the vanilla stevia?
I love your recipes, especially the Carrot Cake, which is our family’s favorite birthday cake.
Elana says
Wendy, I think that would work :-)
Lori says
I just tried your recipe! Oh! I like the flavor! Used honey because I didn’t have maple syrup, and did not use stevia. I was hoping it would look more like your cookie and shortbread! Mine looks similar to a chocolate chip cookie. I will reduce the honey next time, becaue I prefer a less sweet cookie, but I do really like this and will make again, it’s so EASY and healthier. Thank you Elana.
Lori says
PS…mine turned out chewy, why, idk why, but it’s delicious.
Elana says
Lori, I’m so glad to hear you got a chewy cookie –my fave :-)
Catherine C. says
I love this! A great alternative to all the single serving microwavable containers. I’m going to try it and then make a couple “kits”’to have on hand.
Elana says
Catherine, so glad you love this and what a great idea to make kits to have on hand!

Your cookbook has been a lifesaver for me during quarantine. I’ve been able to experiment with new dishes and keep mealtime interesting.
Elana says
Isabella, thanks for letting me know my cookbook has been a lifesaver for you :-)
Olivia J says
Been looking for a better alternative to my favourite cookies! Are these chewy?
Elana says
Olivia, not chewy, more like a shortbread :-)
