Craving a cookie but don’t want to bake a whole batch? Or maybe you’re simply in the mood for a warm, gooey, and perfectly portioned dessert? Look no further! These single serve cookie recipes are your answer to a quick and satisfying treat. And the best part? They’re all vegan!
As someone who truly loves cookies – they’re my ultimate dessert weakness! – I understand the desire for that perfect, anytime cookie fix. These recipes are designed to be just enough to satisfy your sweet tooth without tempting you with dozens of leftovers. Whether you want to share (maybe!) or keep the deliciousness all to yourself, these single-serve wonders are ideal.
During times when we’re spending more time at home, like during quarantine, baking can be such a comforting and creative outlet. Small-batch recipes like these single serve cookies are especially perfect for those moments when you need a little treat without the commitment of a full baking project.

Why Vegan Single Serve Cookies?
Creating vegan recipes is a passion of mine, and I wanted to ensure there’s a flavor here for everyone to love. That’s why this isn’t just one, but four incredible single serve cookie recipes in one place!
To make these cookies vegan-friendly, I’ve used flax meal as an egg replacement for binding and vegan butter instead of traditional dairy butter. While I haven’t specifically tested these recipes with margarine, which is often naturally vegan, I expect similar results.
Here’s a peek at the delicious vegan single serve cookie flavors you’ll discover:
- Classic Chocolate Chunk Cookie with Sea Salt: Timeless and irresistible.
- Funfetti Birthday Cake Cookie: A sprinkle-filled celebration in every bite.
- Delectable Peanut Butter Cookie: The star of the show, perfectly peanut-buttery and satisfying.
- Rich Chocolate Hazelnut Espresso Cookie: For the coffee and chocolate lover in you.
All vegan, all single-serve, and all utterly delicious! Let’s dive into the magic of Single Serve Peanut Butter cookies and these other fantastic flavors.

Vegan Single Serve Chocolate Chunk Cookie
The ultimate vegan single serve cookie recipe featuring those craveable crispy edges and a soft, chewy center, loaded with chocolate chunks.
Pin RecipePrep Time5 minutes mins
Cook Time13 minutes mins
Total Time18 minutes mins
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American, vegan
Keyword: giant cookie, single serve, vegan cookies
Servings: 1
Author: Ciarra Siller
Ingredients
- 1 tsp ground flax meal
- 1 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp vegan butter
- 2 tbsp brown sugar packed
- 1 tbsp white sugar
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- pinch sea salt
- 2 tbsp chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together the flax meal and water. Set aside to gel while you gather the remaining ingredients.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the vegan butter and both sugars using a hand mixer until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Add the flax mixture and continue to beat until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined and no dry flour streaks remain. Gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate chunks. The dough will be slightly soft, which is perfect. Shape it into a large ball and place it in the center of your prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and tap the baking sheet firmly on the counter 3-4 times (dropping it from a few inches helps) to encourage those desirable crispy edges and chewy center. Return to the oven for another 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown. The center may still appear slightly soft, but it will firm up as it cools.
- Allow the cookie to cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before serving and enjoying every chocolatey bite.

Ingredients
- 1 tsp ground flax meal
- 1 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp vegan butter
- 3 tbsp cane sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp baking soda

- In a mixing bowl, use a hand-held mixer to cream together the vegan butter and cane sugar. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully combined. Add the flax mixture and continue mixing until well blended. Incorporate the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the mixture.

Shape the dough into a large ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle extra cane sugar on top for added sweetness and sparkle.
- Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and tap the baking sheet on the counter 3-4 times to gently deflate the cookie and create a slightly chewy texture. Return to the oven for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. The center may still seem a bit soft, but it will set as it cools.
- Let the birthday cake cookie cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows it to firm up to the ideal texture.
