Single Serve Recipes

I’m such a fan of making these small batch recipes! It’s great when you don’t want to have a bunch of leftover cookies at your house! In my household, it’s just me and my husband, so having a whole batch of cookies sitting around means some of them go bad before we get to eat them! 

Making this recipe means we have just enough to enjoy while watching movies without any going to waste! It’s the perfect recipe for one to two people!

Additions and Substitutions

I love these chewy peanut butter cookies so much! But here are few ways you can tweak this recipe to make it even more delicious! 

Chocolate and Peanut Butter – Add in some chocolate chips to make this into a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie! Sounds delicious to me! 

Add Some Crunch – I like to use creamy peanut butter for this recipe, but you can add in some chopped peanuts to the cookie dough to add a bit of crunch to this recipe! 

Peanut Butter Alternatives – If you have a peanut allergy, be sure to use another nut butter option like almond butter or another option you like best!  

Please note if you are using natural peanut butter it can sometimes have more oil than other types of peanut butter! You might need to add an extra tablespoon or so of flour for this recipe! 

Equipment Needed:

Glass Bowl – Good for mixing everything together! I like to use a small mixing bowl with this recipe since there’s not a lot of ingredients! 

Rubber Spatula – I like to mix this cookie dough by hand since it’s such a small amount of ingredients and I don’t like doing dishes! But if you want, you can use a hand mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment! 

Baking Sheet – I have a set of three different baking sheets and I like to use a small baking tray since it’s a mini recipe!

Parchment Paper – A must have for easy clean up when making cookies!

Storage Instructions:

If there’s any leftover cookies, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature! OR if you want to freeze the other cookie, scoop out the cookie dough balls and place one in the freezer! When its frozen, add it to a freezer bag and save for abbot 2-3 months in the freezer!

Helpful Tips and Tricks

I like to gently pat the cookies down to flatten them before baking! If you want to make these into more traditional peanut butter cookies, you can use a fork to make that classic criss-cross pattern on the top of the cookies! 

I highly recommend turning these cookies into an ice cream cookie sandwich! Maybe the next time you make this recipe, you can add a scoop of chocolate ice cream to the middle! Trust me, it’s perfection! The peanut butter flavor with the chocolate ice cream is just perfection! 

This is such an easy recipe to make, it’s perfect for whenever that peanut butter cookie craving hits (which let’s be real, is all the time!). This Single Peanut Butter Cookie recipe is perfect to share with your special someone or keep all ot yourself! There’s no judging here! 

Cheers!
