let’s take a look at this recipe for a no bake single serve “cookie”!

I wish I could remember where I originally saw this recipe for a no bake single serve “cookie”. But needless to say I was drawn to the idea of making a single cookie without turning on the oven! And as we are a small crowd around here I’m always looking for small batch recipes – and it doesn’t get smaller than a single serving!

I LOVE cookies!

Longtime readers know what a fan I am of cookies – they are tops on my favorite foods to make, whether we’re talking peanut butter cookies, chocolate chip cookies or meringues.

what’s in this no bake single serve “cookie”?

The original recipe called for creamy peanut butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips but I substituted (as I do!) as follows, using:

almond butter
quick oats
confectioner’s sugar
vanilla
white chocolate chips
flaky sea salt

almond flour oats and powdered sugar in a vintage pyrex bowl

how do you make them?

It doesn’t get easier than this. Simply combine all of the ingredients except for the white chocolate and sea salt. Form into a cookie and freeze on a piece of parchment paper (or wax paper). Once frozen you’ll melt the chocolate chips and spread on top of the cookie along with a sprinkle of flaky salt – the cold cookie instantly hardens the chocolate, which I loved. That’s it! You don’t even need a baking sheet!

it was really good, but………..

I can’t deny that I enjoyed eating this little creation. But other than it being round and looking like a cookie I would NOT call it one. It was more like a round, sweeter version of an energy bar in both taste and texture. Which is not to say it was bad. On the contrary! I just feel like the name is a little misleading (hence the quotes in the title).

frequently asked questions!

is this recipe vegan? gluten free?

Yes-ish and yes! The ingredients are all gluten free and mostly vegan - you CAN find vegan white chocolate but not easily. All of the other components are vegan.

can you use something other than almond butter?

Yes - literally any nut or seed butter will work here - of course I will be trying this with tahini!

can you switch up the white chocolate?

Of course - and this is a great way to make this easily vegan. I'm a fan of white chocolate, especially when combined with almond butter, but you can use any kind of chocolate you prefer - or none at all!

what about mix-ins?

Heck yes! Toss in some chocolate chips, raisins, toffee bits, a little unsweetened cocoa powder, whatever you like!

so would I make this again?

Maybe? But I’m not rushing to do so. As no bake cookie recipes go I think I can probably do better. This took about 5 minutes to make so it’s not like it was time consuming at all, and again, it was very tasty. TBH I’d probably split the dough in half next time, to make 2 cookies, and shape each a little thinner too. I’m just not 100% sold on this one.

What do you think? Would you try this? Do you have a recipe for no bake cookies – single serving – that you love? Let me know!
