Single Serve Sugar Cookie

There’s only one thing that could be better than a batch of frosted sugar cookies… a SINGLE SERVE SUGAR COOKIE!

I love having the option to make a single serve cookie when I am not in the mood to whip up a huge batch of cookies. It’s quicker, less cleanup, so EASY, and great if you don’t want a full batch all to yourself! This recipe makes 2 regular sized cookies or 1 large cookie.

This Single Serve Sugar Cookie is gluten-free, vegan, and refined sugar-free but tastes AMAZING. It is definitely my favorite recipe I have made this holiday season and quite possibly EVER.

What you need to make this Single Serve Sugar Cookie:

• cashew butter— you can sub almond butter if you’d like but I prefer cashew butter for the smoother consistency and the milder flavor. You can also use sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version but NOTE, it may come out a green-dish/funky color. Totally safe to eat and still delicious, but that’s just what happens when you bake using sunflower seed butter 🙂

• sugar— I like using coconut sugar to keep this recipe refined sugar-free but you can use regular sugar if you please!

• flour— I used gluten-free 1:1 baking flour but feel free to use regular flour too.

• milk— coconut, almond, cashew, oat, and regular milk will all work.

• sea salt

• almond extract— optional but I highly recommend as this is what gives it the “sugar cookie” flavor!

• baking soda

For the frosting…

I went with a classic frosting made up of butter, powdered sugar, and a tiny bit of milk. I don’t measure, I just mix it up until I reach the consistency that I want. Feel free to use whatever frosting you prefer or skip it all together! If you want a vegan option, use vegan butter and non-dairy milk. If you want a lower sugar option, use a powdered sugar replacement like powdered monk fruit 😊
