Chocolate Chip Cookie (The Single Cookie)

Chocolate Chip Cookie (The Single Cookie)
Have you ever been packing snacks for an outing and thought to yourself, "I really want to pack a cookie, but I don't want to make a whole batch."? Or, "I really want to pack a cookie, but I haven't the time to make 69 of them, like the recipe calls for"?
Well, here's the solution.

One cookie at a time.


Now, you may be wondering why I put this in the pocket-sized group. I mean, who in their right mind puts a cookie in their pocket? It's not the cookie that goes in your pocket, it's the dough! This recipe has no eggs in it, so you can put it in a zip lock bag and carry it around until you find a place to bake it.
A word of caution though... I have not personally tried it, but I'm thinking that airlines would frown upon this idea if you are wanting to transport your unbaked cookie cross-country. Unlabeled blobs of dough can look quite suspicious, if you know what I mean.

All right then, here we go.

Best cookies I ever tasted. Try this method, you'll be happy you did
I just made a batch the second time, partially mixed by hand then stuck them in the blender for a short period until it stopped blending and added another tbsp choc chips(3tbls all together) then mixed by hand again until dough was ready.
I divided it into 5 balls and squashed them flat, cooked at 350f for 13 min, Wow the best cookies I've ever tasted. the cookies turned out darker because of the blender(magic bullet).

I messed it up... I added like 1/2 talblespoon of vanilla! This is why I get my mom to cook..I just poured it wrong and now it tastes almost bitter (oh yeah, I'm eating the dough raw)

This cookie was definitely tasty, but the texture just didn't do it for me. It could have been the fact that my flour was old. I still loved the recipe though, and plan to mess around with it a bit to make something perfect for me. Thanks for sharing!

So happy I found this recipe! I made this last night, but instead of using chocolate chips (didn't have any) I added 3-5 crushed almonds, added some cinnamon and rolled the dough (made 2 cookies) in powdered sugar :) It was delicious!

Eating one as I type this! This seems to be a great quick recipe for a small serving, just enough to hit one's cookie fix and go on with your day. I was able to shape 3 smaller ones from this recipe, and the best part is I baked these cookies in my TOASTER OVEN without having to preheat my big ol' oven first! Nice! Thank you for posting!

I added a bit less water and replaced it with milk. So moist and delicious. 5 stars!

Dec 18, 2009. 11:26 PMLance Mt. says:
 tried microwave.

6/10 - Still tasted amazing

What I'd do differently: Take it out after 20. It still had its shape. Might had suffered taste wise thoguh.


Cheers

Vegan cookie!!!!! I'm not a vegan
Apr 1, 2009. 2:54 PMcynical_chemical says:
not quite vegan, you would have to use vegan butter substitute and some sort of milk free chocolate
Nov 7, 2009. 6:06 PMhawkfrost64 says:
butter made from , like almond milk or rice milk! 
Dec 11, 2009. 5:52 PMcynical_chemical says:

Dec 17, 2009. 8:48 PMandrewbaker says:

I love this. <333... It has become very useful for me in times of a cookie. Question- How could you bake a peanut butter cookie (my fave) like this?
Nov 7, 2009. 6:07 PMhawkfrost64 says:
yes out chips and add peanut butter!

If you like nuts in your cookies, these are good, because for some reason mine tastes very nutty even though I didn't add any. But if you are looking for just straight yummy freh baked traditional choco chip cookies, then this is not it. A for effort though.

OK I think it is brilliant - I am a cook in a Childcare Centre and have several kids on special diets, ie gluten free, so I usually have to make up at least half a batch of their dough using the gluten flour just to get 2 or 3 cookies for a child- on most recipes to go less than half just doesn't work out...with your cookie I can adapt to most of the recipes I have without the brain strain!!! LOVE IT - THANKYOU

I have to say this was the perfect instructable for my late night munchies. I really wanted some cookies and really couldn't make a whole batch so late at night. I also made it kinda ghetto with chopped up chocolate and left out the vanilla extract because we didn't have any. Then I put it in the toaster oven for the settings and it turned out great. Mine turned out more of an overcooked pancake but still satisfied my cookie craving.
Apr 21, 2009. 7:16 PMjahnamama says:
This would be an awesome recipe for making Cookie Dough Icecream, since there's no eggs in it.
Apr 1, 2009. 1:29 PMcowscankill says:
Can you microwave this?
Apr 9, 2009. 2:16 PMlivetobelieve says:
no
Feb 27, 2009. 5:15 PMdodo91 says:
is this cookie soft or hard? if its hard, add some vanila pudding mix. only a little, though, or else it will take from the chocolate taste.
