How to make healthy single serve cookies

This cookie recipe follows similar guidelines to traditional cookies, but with healthier options for ingredients (and smaller measurements!).

To start, preheat the oven to 350°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk an egg and set half aside (you’ll only be using half an egg for this recipe).

Next, whisk in the coconut sugar, coconut oil, and vanilla.

Add the almond flour on top of the wet ingredients, followed by the baking soda and salt.

Mix these ingredients until they are well combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix again.

Next, let the mix sit in the freezer for 20 minutes. This helps the dough really form together and makes for a better final cookie!

Remove the dough from the freezer and roll into a ball.

Place the dough on the baking sheet and press down to slightly flatten it.

Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden!

And that’s it! A quick and easy treat for one.

How this recipe is healthier

This low calorie single serve cookie uses a lot of my favorite healthier ingredient swaps to create a cookie that contains extra nutrients!

For example, I ditched regular granulated sugar in favor of my favorite alternative — coconut sugar! I also cut out vegetable/canola oil and used coconut oil instead. For flour, I used almond flour rather than all-purpose white flour.

The result? A healthy, delicious cookie that's just as good as your favorite regular recipe.
