How to Make 2 Ingredient Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup (200g) of granulated sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Add 2 large eggs and beat until well combined.
  4. Gradually add 3 cups (375g) of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional) and 1 cup of chocolate chips (or your favorite add-ins).
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Smaller cookies will require less baking time.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
