Doiron explains that getting every measurement exactly right, especially the flour, is extremely important since we are working with a single serving here. Measuring in grams for this vegan cookie recipe is preferred, but the Justine Snacks blogger also shares the measurements in cup format below. If tonight’s a "chocolate chip cookie for one" type of night, follow this satisfying recipe.

1. In a small bowl, add the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together.

2. Using a large bowl and fork, mix together the coconut oil and brown sugar until they become a well-combined paste. Add vanilla and mix again.

3. Add half of the dry ingredients into the wet and mix. (Justine’s note: It will seem like you have WAY too much flour, but don't panic! Keep mixing until you get a gravelly texture.) Add in the remaining dry ingredients and continue whisking. Once you have a well-dispersed, crumb-like texture, you can move onto the next step.

4. Pour in the almond milk and give it a quick mix with a fork. Now use your hands to form it into dough.

5. Add the chocolate chips and form the dough into a tall cone shape. Place in the fridge to chill.

6. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

7. Bake your cookie dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 8-12 minutes. Doiron notes to check on your cookie at the 8-minute mark, and then every two minutes from there until it has reached your desired look and a golden brown color.

8. Remove from the oven and let cool for 20 to 30 minutes. At this time, the cookie will still bake for a bit while it’s out of the oven, so it’s important to let it cool.

9. Serve and enjoy.
