19 Lazy One-Bowl Cookie Recipes You Can Make When a Craving Strikes

Our two favorite afternoon pick-me-ups in one convenient (and delicious) package? We’ll take three.

No flour? No problem. Instead, these cookies rely on a mixture of confectioners’ sugar and cocoa powder, which makes for a molten and chewy, intensely chocolatey treat.

Chocolate chip is always a safe choice, but it’s time to try something new. These easy sugar-cookie-macaron hybrids are just the ticket.

The beauty of an icebox cookie is that you can make the dough in advance and freeze it for desperate times.

The addition of dark brown sugar is important for two reasons: It adds a complex caramel vibe and also ensures a chewy final product. Sold yet?

By starting with melted butter, you eliminate the softening and the beating. And a touch of almond flour keeps things from getting cloyingly sweet.

If you thought plant-based cookies were too good to be true, you’ll have to try these. They’re plant-based-diet-friendly and ready for frosting.

Give us a sweet and salty dessert and we’ll be weak at the knees—especially if there’s a sprinkling of flaky salt involved at the end.

Confession: We’re never above eating cookies for breakfast. This version just make us feel a little healthier about it.

The classic flavor combo just got a major upgrade: 25 minutes from start to finish and practically zero cleanup.

There’s, like, a full bag of chocolate chips in this dough. Need we say more?

Packed with flaxseed? Check. No refined sugar? Check. Yep, you can eat the entire batch.

There’s nothing scary about these guys, which don’t even require softening butter to room temperature beforehand.

Stash a batch in the freezer and bring them out for a special occasion. You know, like a Tuesday.

You’re not really going to save this recipe for the holidays, are you?

Break these out for an after-school (or work) snack on the first crisp fall day.

A quick dip in powdered sugar gives these cookies their crinkly exterior and complements the tangy lemon flavor. They also take 30 minutes to make, but no big deal.

This calls for a cup of tea—chai, of course.

Sometimes you don’t want a dozen cookies. Sometimes you just want a gigantic one, all to yourself.
