This Single Serve Sugar Cookie recipe is perfect for those nights where your cookie craving hits but you only want enough cookies for just you! No need to share with this recipe! This sugar cookie is the perfect combination of crispy edges and a gooey middle. It's also the perfect amount of cookies for an ice cream sandwich, which I recommend trying.

What is a Single Serve Cookie Recipe?

Single-Serve recipes are some of my favorite recipes to create because they make the perfect amount of cookies for you and just you! Okay, well technically this recipe does make *two* cookies so you could share if you want. But who wants to just eat one cookie!?

These recipes are perfect because they use such small amount of ingredients; you don't have to worry about softening a whole stick of butter when your cookie craving hits!

Almond Extract Cookies

I know, I know, almond extract is kind of an odd ingredient for sugar cookies. But adding almond extract to cookies doesn't make the cookies taste like an almond cookie, it just enhances the flavors of the vanilla.

If you've ever wondered why your vanilla recipe tastes different than your local bakery's vanilla cake, it's probably because they added a few drops of almond extract!

Almond extract has a very powerful flavor profile to it though, so you really only need a few drops whenever you're working with it. Even in bigger cake recipes, I only use about ¼-1/2 teaspoon at a time. Since this recipe is so small, I recommend only one to two drops will do!

Other Recipes for One to Love!

This recipe makes two perfect sized cookies loaded up with mini M&M’s! A chewy center, crispy edges, and pops of crunchy chocolate pieces make these cookies a total win.

Double Chocolate Skillet Cookie - An ooey-gooey Double Chocolate Cookie Skillet that’s perfect for a date night of two! A rich and chocolate-y double chocolate cookie base that’s baked into a warm skillet. It creates the perfect crispy crust while the inside is still warm and gooey.

Ingredient List:

  • Butter 
  • Sugar
  • Brown Sugar
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Almond Extract
  • Egg Yolk
  • Flour
  • Baking Soda
  • Sprinkles

Any recipe that has sprinkles is going to be a win in my book! I love this Single Serve Sugar Cookie because it calls for such small amount of ingredients that you can basically call this a pantry clean out recipe!

So not only are you getting rid of that little amount of flour before you get a new bag, but you also have a delicious sweet treat waiting for you! Double win!

Cheers!

    I tried this recipe and for some reason it turned out like little dough balls rather than cookies?

      Hmmm, I wonder what could have caused that? Was your butter room temperature? I'm sorry that happened though!
