Dessert for one, please! This easy chocolate chip cookie recipe makes the perfect amount for an individual treat to enjoy if you're craving something sweet and don't want to dedicate your day to baking a big batch of cookies. Because when you need a little something but already have one foot out the door (parents, we know you can relate), a soft and chewy cookie for one is exactly what your sweet tooth ordered.
