Ah, those “2-ingredient” recipes are surprisingly simple—and often dangerously good! Here’s a classic example:
2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 1 cup sugar (white, brown, or a mix)
Optional: 1 egg for extra binding (still just 2 main ingredients)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix the peanut butter and sugar in a bowl until smooth. If using an egg, add it here.
- Scoop spoonfuls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Flatten each cookie slightly with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cool—these cookies firm up as they cool and are addictive!
💡 Tips & Variations:
- Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for extra flavor.
- Fold in a few chocolate chips for a “2.5 ingredient” twist.
- Store in an airtight container; they last about a week.
