Single Serving Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie

Satisfy your sweet tooth with a quick indulgence of a oatmeal chocolate chip cookie for one.

Today I am joining a group of bloggers celebrating the goodness that is a single serving. Everyone deserves good food to eat.  Sometimes though it is hard to do when you are by yourself.  When Mr. J is gone for a work trip I find myself gravitating to the cereal in the pantry at dinner time.  This past week Mr. J was gone a lot.  I wish I could say that I whipped up some wonderful concoctions but I just wasn't feeling it.  Hello grilled cheese sandwiches!! 

I did however make some cookies.  One night I wanted cookies bad.  I was too tired to make a whole batch. Plus a whole batch of cookies is not a good thing to have around a lonely pregnant woman.  This recipe is a mini recipe.  Perfect for one...or two if you want to share. I didn't and wouldn't. No judgement here. 

These cookies come together so easily.  You barely make a mess. A few minutes in the oven and you have warm chocolate chip oatmeal cookies.  They definitely hit the spot.
