Single Serving Pumpkin Cookie (Eggless)
This eggless Single Serving Pumpkin Cookie is a soft, cake-like chocolate chip cookie that you aren’t required to share. And let’s face it – who would actually want to share their cookie?
If you were to ask me what my favorite cookie is, I would immediately reply chocolate chip cookies.
That is, if you asked me from December – August. If you were to ask me right now through November, the answer will slightly change to pumpkin chocolate chip.
I’m not sure what it is about pumpkin, but it just makes everything taste better once September rolls around.
Growing up, my parents would often buy those soft pumpkin cookies with the bright orange icing from the grocery store bakery.
They used to be my favorite fall cookie until I made them myself with chocolate chips. Come on – chocolate chip >>> raisin.
Here’s the dilemma – what do you do when you crave your favorite cookie but only want a little bit, not a whole two dozen (I mean, you DO want a whole two dozen, but your waist may say otherwise)?
You make a Single Serving Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie. That’s right – one soft, cakey cookie that’ll make you fall in love with fall all over again.
I made this bad boy FOUR times before finally getting it right. Which probably defeats the purpose of this being a single serving cookie, but who’s counting?
If you don’t own any ramekins, you need to buy them ASAP (Amazon affiliate)!
Of course I use them to make desserts for two, but as with most recipes, you can easily double or even quadruple this cookie recipe to serve more than just yourself.
I easily made my parents and brother my peach cobbler for two just by doubling the recipe.
So I guess my point is even though this recipe is catered for one, anybody can make this recipe if you do some math.
Thanks to the extra moisture from the pumpkin, the texture is soft and cake-like, which I felt was comforting for a fall cookie.
If you’re expecting a chewy chocolate chip cookie, then you’ll need to keep looking.
Using pumpkin also means you don’t need to add egg; pumpkin is often used as an egg substitute in most baking recipes anyway.
Just make sure you whisk the melted butter and sugars together really well so it doesn’t end up grainy.
This Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie was so good warm that I didn’t bother with ice cream. I highly recommend eating it straight from the oven as the chocolate chips remain melty.
Although through my recipe testing, I did eat part of one the next morning, and it was still just as good.
Not melty, but still soft with the spices hugging you like a fall sweater. But chances are you will never know because this cookie won’t last that long.
