This Single Serve Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is a super small batch recipe that is mixed up in one bowl with a rubber spatula (no mixer needed) and makes two large cookies that you can either have both yourself or share one.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar, light or dark
  • 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, measured using the 'spoon and level' method
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup classic rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prep - Get the oven preheating to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Butter and Sugar - In a medium bowl, stir together the softened butter and sugars until combined (I like use a rubber spatula to ‘smoosh’ the mixture against the side of the bowl to really cream things together).
  3. Add Yolk and Vanilla - Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla until well combined. 
  4. Add Dry Ingredients - Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Then fold in the chocolate chips and oats.
  5. Chill Dough - I like to pop the dough in the fridge for 10-15 minutes while the oven finishes preheating. 
  6. Roll into Balls - Roll the dough into two balls and place on a baking sheet. I like to use a large 1/3 cup cookie scoop (the same size I use to fill a standard muffin pan). I also like to press a few extra chocolate chips in the tops for extra pretty cookies.
  7. Bake - Bake for 11–13 minutes - until the edges are golden and set and the centers are just set. I like my cookies to have a gooey (not raw) center so they are extra tender, but you can adjust to your preferences.
  8. Cool on Baking Sheet - Allow the Cookes to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes so they will finish cooking on the sheet and set up the final amount. Enjoy!

Notes

Spoon and Level Method - When measuring flour, make sure to use the 'spoon and level' method. This is where you spoon the flour into the measuring cup and then level off the top. Instead of dipping the measuring cup directly into the flour bin which can lead to over measuring.

Leftovers can be stored at room temperature, in an airtight container, for up to 1 week.
