A small batch recipe still deserves smart, intentional ingredients, and this Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookie uses just a handful to create the perfect soft and chewy texture in a single serving.

  • Butter: Melted butter gives the dough instant richness and helps the cookie spread just enough while keeping the center soft.
  • Almond Flour or All Purpose Flour: Almond flour makes the cookie tender and naturally flavorful. If using all purpose flour, the extra pinch of baking powder lifts the dough so it stays thick and soft.
  • Two Sugars: A mix of granulated sweetener and coconut or brown sugar creates caramel-like depth and ensures the edges turn golden instead of drying out.
  • Chocolate Chips: Even a small amount of chips melts beautifully into pockets of chocolate, giving this jumbo cookie the same satisfaction as a full batch.

Note: Please see recipe card at the bottom for a full list of ingredients with measurements.

Preheat your oven to 176°C | 350°F and prepare a small baking tray
  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 176°C | 350°F and prepare a small baking tray or skillet so the cookie bakes evenly.
Whisk the melted butter, lightly whisked egg, sweetener, sugar, and vanilla
  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: Whisk the melted butter, lightly whisked egg, sweetener, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and well combined.
Gently mix in the almond flour or plain flour and chocolate chips until the batter looks creamy and evenly mixed.
  1. Fold in the Dry Ingredients: Gently mix in the almond flour or plain flour and chocolate chips until the batter looks creamy and evenly mixed.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the edges are golden  and sprinkle with salt flakes.
  1. Bake and Finish: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is just set, then cool slightly and sprinkle with salt flakes.

Serve this Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookie with Banana Popsicles for a clean, refreshing contrast that balances the warm, gooey center of the cookie. The light sweetness and cold bite keep the dessert spread from feeling heavy, making this big cookie even more satisfying straight from the oven.

For something a little more elevated, pair it with Maple Grilled Peaches and Almond Cookie Crumb or a Low Fat Chocolate Mug Cake. The caramelized fruit adds brightness and depth, while the soft, chocolatey cake gives you a second texture that complements a giant chocolate chip cookie without stealing the spotlight.

  • Do not overbake it. This jumbo cookie will continue to set as it cools, so pull it from the oven when the center still looks slightly soft for the best chewy texture.
  • Mix gently once the flour goes in. Overmixing can make the cookie dense instead of tender, especially when using almond flour.
  • Use the center rack only. Baking too high or too low in the oven can brown the edges too fast before the middle sets.
  • Let it rest before digging in. I know it is tempting, but a short cooling time helps the cookie firm up just enough while keeping the center gooey.

Recipe FAQ’s

Why Is Only A Small Amount Of Egg Used?

Using just a little egg keeps the cookie rich and tender without making it cakey, which is important for a jumbo single serve cookie.

Why Did My Cookie Spread Too Much?

This usually happens if the butter was very hot or the dough was too loose. Let the melted butter cool slightly before mixing.

How Do I Know When The Cookie Is Done Baking?

The edges should be lightly golden while the center still looks slightly soft. It will finish setting as it cools.

Ingredients 
 

  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 2 teaspoons of 1 lightly whisked egg *See Notes
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sweetener or sub with white sugar for non-low carb
  • 1 teaspoon coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup almond flour or substitute with plain or all purpose flour plus extra pinch baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar free chocolate chips
  • 1 pinch sea salt flakes to sprinkle optional

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 176°C | 350°F. Whisk together the melted butter, egg, sweetener, sugar and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Add in the almond flour (or plain flour if using) and the chocolate chips, mixing through gently until the batter is well combined and creamy.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden browned and the cookie is set. Allow to cool and sprinkle with salt flakes.

Notes

*When recipe testing, I found the best outcome was to use 2 teaspoons of 1 whisked egg. You can try to use egg whites, however the fat content in the yolk helped crisp the edges. Reserve the rest of the whisked eggs for scrambled eggs or an omelette!

    Good cookie! I didn’t use any sweetener or sugar. I used about two teaspoons of honey instead. It didn’t come out so sweet. I added extra choc. chips to substitute for the sugar. 8/10! I imagine 10/10 if I used sugar because I have such a sweet tooth.

    Thank you so much for sharing this fabulous recipe! My husband and I are a month into Keto and we were looking for a little, sweet treat to have with tea at night. This is perfect! We split it and we were both so happy! We used Monk fruit granulated sweetner for the 2 teaspoons and splurged and used 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, and Lindt dark chocolate. We don’t eat many carbs in the rest of our diet, so we are still under our Keto goal of 20-30 carbs per day. We will definitely be making this cookie again. Thank you for sharing – your recipe is the first low carb dessert we have tried and actually liked!

    I was craving sugar and I didn’t want to make more than what I should eat. I’m doing keto and this was amazing it was way better than I expected. Crispy edges and soft and creamy in the middle I used egg whites and added 90% chocolate to it and OMG 15 min and the best cookie ever.
