CassieI’m a big fan of single-serve desserts.
Mostly because dessert is my preferred meal, but certainly not everyone’s.
If I could eat dessert for breakfast, lunch, and dinner… I probably would. And, tbh, I have.
But if you’re not like me, I bet you still crave cookies and baked goods at some hour of the day, but making a whole few dozen seems not only wasteful, but selfish, especially if you’ve no one at the ready to share them with.
Enter: the single serve Chocolate Cherry Almond Cookie.
You could certainly multiply these measurements by 12 to make a dozen, or however many treats you wish. This dough would also make delicious bars!
It is also very easy to customize. Don’t have almond butter? Sub peanut butter, coconut oil, or plain butter. Play around with the sweetener you use, try blueberries instead of cherries, or replace the oats with normal flour!
Have fun with this concept. I would love to see what you come up with!
