Chocolate Chip Cookies for Two

January 30, 2015May 23, 2017 Melissa King 44 Comments

Sometimes you are in the mood for a good chocolate chip cookie. That is where this Chocolate Chip Cookie for Two comes into play. This recipe makes only two cookies so you don’t have to worry about over eating the whole batch. 🙂

Thursday was my birthday, and I was craving a good chocolate chip cookie. So I made this recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies for Two. This chocolate chip cookie recipe is so easy and it doesn’t even require a mixer! Plus there is no egg in this recipe, so feel free to just eat the dough if you prefer!

These chocolate chip cookies are vegan and gluten free. I am guessing the if you refrigerated the dough, it may work nicely in a cookie dough ice cream. Maybe a single serving banana ice cream? Yum!!

The very first food blog I ever followed was Chocolate Covered Katie. She is the original queen of healthy desserts. That is why I was so excited to get the opportunity to review her new cookbook Chocolate-Covered Katie: Over 80 Delicious Recipes That Are Secretly Good for You. The Chocolate Pixie Cookies was the first recipe I tried. They are delicious. I knew they were good when my 5 year old wanted to lick the mixer paddle clean!

This book is truly for the dessert lover. It’s filled with amazing recipes like, Chocolate Infinity Pie, New York Style Cheesecake, Peanut Butter and Jelly Candy Cups and so much more. All are vegan and made with healthy ingredients. She even provides nutrition facts and weight watchers points with every recipe. The best part about these recipes is that they are easy!

Flourless Gingerbread Cookies

So you know I am a huge fan of flourless cookies. These Flourless Gingerbread Cookies are my latest creation. These Flourless Gingerbread Cookies came out really well. Crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. My husband liked them so much, he didn’t want to share any! These flourless cookies are super easy to make and you only need 5 simple ingredients!

I used cashew butter in my recipe for it’s mild flavor and buttery texture. I think macadamia butter would work well too. You can probably use peanut butter or almond butter as well, but the taste may be a little different. Sunflower butter is an option for those with nut allergies. These gingerbread cookies would be great for cookies swaps. Don’t tell anyone they are made healthier. I promise they will never know! This makes a small batch of cookies so you will not be stuck with a huge batch in the house. Please let these cookies cool completely before removing from the baking sheet. Otherwise they could crumble. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Sugar Cookies (vegan)

Bring on the holiday baking! I am starting with these Gluten Free Sugar Cookies. These gluten free sugar cookies are perfect for cookie swaps and parties.

They contain far less sugar than traditional cookie recipes. I think my 5 Minute Healthy Frosting would be great on these! This healthier sugar cookie recipe is also vegan in addition to being gluten free. All you need is 9 ingredients!

I used palm shortening in this recipe and here is why. One of the key ingredients in sugar cookies is butter. I don’t want to use margarine or some other kind of vegan butter. I also didn’t think coconut oil would have worked in this recipe. So I used the palm shortening.

I used Nutiva palm shortening which comes from a sustainable source. Since it’s not something I use on a regular basis, I was okay with it in this recipe. One thing I did different than most sugar cookie recipes is that I cut the sugar amount in half.
