I will honestly admit that I love fresh chocolate chip cookies from the oven. And if I had a craving in the past, I used to go ahead and whip up a batch to satisfy my craving. But since I’m single, that left me with a whole lot more cookies than I really needed to be eating. And they were hard to resist. Since I have struggled with my weight, I wanted to find a way to occassionally indulge without so many leftovers. I’ve learned through the years that continuously depriving myself can be as bad as overindulging all the time. And so I’ve been incorporating a happy medium approach to how I’m eating. That’s why I created this chocolate chip cookie bar recipe.
I know that it is okay to have cookies…on occassion. And so why not create a version that was small enough to allow me to have two servings. That is enough to satisfy my craving, without so many leftovers! Now I’ve also made this with less sugar as well, I’ve substituted coconut sugar for the brown and white conventional sugar. It did change the taste a bit, but it was still yummy.
I have not tried this recipe with gluten-free flours. So I’m not sure how they would impact the final product.
As is, this recipe tastes just like a typical chocolate chip cookie recipe. It has been satisfying for me to get to enjoy a serving of cookie for two days and know that I’m not overdoing it!
Now that I’m making more recipes for one and two people, I love having a 1/8 tsp measuring spoon! It’s so handy, but doesn’t come with every set of measuring spoons! Here’s a set that has one!
This chocolate chip cookie bar recipe is the perfect size for two people. So find someone you can share this with. Or enjoy a little treat on two different days. That’s what I do!
