What are Single Serve Cookies?
Single serve cookies are perfect for when you're craving a sweet treat but don't want to bake an entire batch. They are quick, easy, and require minimal ingredients. These cookies are ideal for satisfying those late-night cravings or for a quick dessert fix without the hassle of making dozens of cookies.
Single Serve S'mores Cookie Ingredients
- Egg Yolk: Provides richness and helps bind the ingredients together without making the dough too liquidy.
- Unsalted Butter: Adds moisture, richness, and flavor. Unsalted butter allows you to control the salt content.
- Light Brown Sugar (packed): Adds sweetness and a hint of molasses flavor, contributing to the cookie's chewiness.
- Granulated Sugar: Adds sweetness and helps the cookie edges to crisp up.
- All-Purpose Flour: The main structure of the cookie, giving it body and texture.
- Vanilla Extract: Enhances the flavor profile, giving it a classic cookie taste.
- Baking Soda: Helps the cookie rise slightly, making it tender and chewy.
- Chocolate Chips: Provides delicious chocolatey goodness in every bite.
- One Giant Marshmallow: Adds a gooey, melty center reminiscent of s'mores.
How to Make Single Serve S'mores Cookies
Preheat the Oven:Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Mix the Wet Ingredients:In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and the sugars. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.
Add Dry Ingredients:Add the flour, salt, and baking soda to the wet mixture. Mix until combined, ensuring there are no lumps. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Shape the Cookies:Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape them into medium-large cookies. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake:Bake the cookies for about 11 minutes or until the edges are just golden brown. The centers will still look slightly underdone, but they will continue to set as they cool.
Add the Marshmallow:While the cookies are still hot, press a giant marshmallow into the center of each cookie. The heat will cause the marshmallow to melt slightly, creating a gooey center.
Cool and Serve:Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious single serve s'mores cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips for Making Single Serve Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter is softened but not melted. Room temperature butter will cream better with the sugars, resulting in a better texture.
- Measure Ingredients Accurately: Especially for small-batch recipes, precise measurements are crucial. Use a kitchen scale if possible.
- Don't Overmix the Dough: Mix just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
- Customize Your Cookies: Feel free to add a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty combo. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate chips or add-ins like nuts.
- Watch the Baking Time: Since these are smaller cookies, they can bake quickly. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don't overbake.
