Single Serve Cookies
Posted by Lincoln Pointe Apartments on 10:14 AM
You are home alone, but you still want something sweet around the holidays. Check out these single serve cookie recipes from The Kitchn. These are great when you are having a craving for sweets.You know the feeling: it's late at night, you have the place to yourself, and you just want something sweet. But just a little something. You don't want to make an entire cake, or a dozen cookies, or anything that you'll be tempted to eat the entire thing. Instead of busting out a pint of ice cream or a candy bar, treat yourself! Make one of these single-serve warm, gooey homemade cookies.
Yes, of course you could just prepare the whole batch and just freeze the rest of the dough if you have that kind of self-restraint. If, however, you just have one egg or you know yourself well enough that you couldn't resist making the whole batch, these recipes are here to help.
