Ingredients
-
- Chocolate: I used 50% dark chocolate for making these cookies. Just choose a good-quality dark chocolate bar or chocolate chips. You can also use milk or white chocolate in this cookie recipe. The better the chocolate, the better the flavor of your cookies.
-
- All-purpose flour: I added all-purpose flour to give structure to the melted chocolate and help create a thick, pipeable dough. You can also use whole wheat flour or a gluten-free flour blend to make it gluten-free.
How to Make 2-Ingredient Chocolate Cookies
Making this chocolate cookie recipe is super simple. First, preheat the oven and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave until smooth and glossy.
Then add flour, one tablespoon at a time. Stir well until a thick, shiny, pipeable dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag (or a ziplock with a snipped corner), then pipe decorative swirls onto the baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each cookie.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the tops are set and slightly crackled. Make sure you don’t overbake them, as they firm up while cooling.
Once baked, remove them from the oven and let the cookies cool on the tray for 30 minutes.
Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. That’s it — your 2-ingredient chocolate cookies are ready to dip in your coffee or milk.
Variations
Vegan Chocolate Cookies
To make sure that these cookies are vegan, use vegan dark chocolate to make them 100% vegan.
Nutty Chocolate Cookies
If you love the nutty texture and taste in your cookies, stir in finely chopped almonds, cashews, or hazelnuts into the cookie dough.
Zesty Chocolate Cookies
Chocolate and citrus go well together. Simply add a pinch of orange or lemon zest for a citrusy note and your zesty chocolate cookies are ready.
Spicy Chocolate Cookies
For a spicy touch, you can add a tiny dash of cinnamon or cardamom. A pinch of chili flakes or chili powder also gives these cookies a warm kick.
Serving Suggestions
Just like any cookies, these 2-ingredient chocolate cookies pair perfectly with a warm cup of coffee, milk, or hot chocolate.
For an indulgent dessert, serve them with vanilla ice cream or orange ice cream. You can also pack them in lunchboxes or snack trays for kids and adults alike, or serve them at parties.
Storage Suggestions
They keep well at room temperature for up to 5 days when stored in an airtight container.
For longer shelf life, refrigerate them for up to 10 days and bring them to room temperature before serving. You can also freeze the dough for up to 1 month; just thaw it before baking fresh.
