Ah yes—those “2-ingredient” recipes are surprisingly simple and often dangerously delicious! Here’s a classic example that fits your description:
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 technically 2 main ingredients)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix peanut butter and sugar 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, creating a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cool before eating—these cookies are soft but firm up as they cool.
💡 Tips & Variations:
- Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for a flavor boost.
- Mix in a few chocolate chips if you want a “2.5 ingredient” version.
- Store in an airtight container—these cookies last about a week.
