Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe for Two
A quick and easy 15-minute start to finish chocolate chip cookie recipe for two people. This small-batch cookie recipe yields 2 to 3 cookies so perfect when you are craving cookies but don’t want to make a big batch.
Let’s say it is 10:00 pm at night and you have a massive chocolate chip cookie craving but you don’t want to even think about baking an entire batch of 2 dozen cookies. I have the perfect solution for you — the ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe for two. This recipe makes 2 to 3 chocolate chip cookies which are absolutely perfect when you just want a couple of cookies.
Now, this could be a single serving chocolate chip cookie recipe too because you may want two cookies and that is just fabulous! I just love that it is a small-batch chocolate chip cookie recipe and is literally made in 15 minutes start to finish!
This chocolate chip cookie recipe for two people is made with butter, brown sugar, sugar, egg yolk, vanilla, flour, baking soda, and chocolate chips. It is whipped up in one bowl and literally takes only a few minutes to throw in the ingredients. It makes warm, chewy chocolate chip cookies with crisp edges and lots of chocolate!
Last night after date night, I came home and my husband and I were craving some chocolate chip cookies. I didn’t want to go through the hassle of making an entire batch so I just whipped up this small batch and he was so surprised how fast we could make homemade single-serving chocolate chip cookies.
How to make the Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe for Two Servings:
- Start by melting butter in the microwave — just until barely melted. You don’t want it to be boiling so I suggest about 30 seconds. Stir in brown sugar, and sugar and mix well until completely combined and smooth. This is an important step as you want the warm butter to dissolve the sugars so take your time with this step.
- Add in one egg yolk and vanilla. Since this is a small recipe, we are only using an egg yolk instead of an entire egg. It helps to create a chewy texture.
- Stir in flour and baking soda. If using salted butter, you don’t have to add extra salt but if you are using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt for flavor.
- Fold in your favorite type of chocolate chips — milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, or dark chocolate or a combination. My favorite types of chocolate chips are Guittard and Ghirardelli. I also love to throw in some chunks of chocolate from the Trader Joe’s Pound Plus Bar.
- Bake just until lightly golden. Don’t overbake as the cookies will continue to bake after being removed from the oven.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe for Two
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons Salted Butter (melted)
- 4 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1/2 cup Flour
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/3 cup Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat butter for about 30 seconds in the microwave until melted. Stir in brown sugar and sugar and stir well until the sugars begin to dissolve and the mixture becomes smooth.
- Add egg yolk and vanilla and stir well.
- Fold in flour and baking soda and stir together. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Drop cookie dough onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. This will make two to three cookies, depending on size. I suggest a light-colored baking sheet for all of my cookie recipes. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Don't overbake as the cookies will continue to bake on the warm cookie sheet once removed from the oven.

So easy, so YUM. Perfect for 2. I even had left over dough and put in freezer for later snack. I followed the recipe exactly and crunchy outside ,soft middle. Thanks
I am so glad you loved this recipe, Jenisa!
Great recipe. I swapped out the brown sugar with white sugar because I did not have any brown sugar. I also had to increase the baking time to 16 minutes because at 10 minutes they were still quite underdone. Other than that, the sweetness was just right. I enjoyed the texture and it was a great cookie. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to include in the recipe how long to let the cookies cool.
Thank you for your comment, Jay!
These are incredible! Ended up with 4 good sized cookies. Mine needed 14 minutes in the oven but my oven runs a little cold. Such a great recipe if you have a craving and don’t want a big batch.
Thank you for making this recipe Jax!

I love this recipe so much! It makes the perfect chewy and crispy chocolate chip cookie. I love how fast it is to make!
I am so glad you loved this recipe, Ella!
Way too much sugar unfortunately… ended up with a gritty texture. Also baked for 10 minutes and they were still underdone
I read the comments that mentioned adding a quarter cup more flour. I did & the cookies came out perfect. I let the dough rest in the freezer while I preheated the oven & I’m glad I did. The cookies were crispy around the edges with that perfect gooey in the middle. And I got 4 cookies out the deal too!😆
