Frequently asked questions – FAQ

How to store this chocolate chip cookie for later?

Since this recipe doesn’t make a huge batch, you might not have any leftovers but just in case you do, you can store it in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Once you’re ready to enjoy it, eat it as is with a tall glass of milk or pop it in the microwave for a few seconds to get it all ooey gooey again.

Can I use different mix-ins in my cookie?

Absolutely! Here are a few ideas that you can pick from when making this recipe:

• chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips
• Use dark chocolate chips or even milk chocolate chips
• Nuts think walnuts, pecans, or even hazelnuts mixed in will make this even richer.
• Use white chocolate chips and dried cranberries for an easy festive cookie for one.
• Add white chocolate chips and some sprinkles for a fun birthday cake cookie twist. If you’re feeling adventurous add a tiny bit of cake batter flavoring as well to get that ultimate B-day cake flavor.

My cookie turned out flat, what did I do wrong?

There are a few things that can lead to your cookie being flat.

The first thing is your butter. If it is too soft then the cookie might spread too much in the oven.

The second issue could be that you flattened the cookie dough too much when you placed it on your baking sheet before baking. We want a big mound of cookie dough so that once it bakes, it doesn’t become too thin.

Can I freeze this single-serve chocolate chip cookie?

Absolutley!

If you want to freeze the whole cookie or maybe leftovers for later, wrap with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil for up to 2 months. Once you’re ready to enjoy, thaw in the fridge overnight or on the countertop for a few hours and enjoy!

I like to microwave this single serving cookie to get it all ooey gooey again.
