Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies For Two

Tell me about these chocolate chip cookies?

If you’re like me, you love chocolate chip cookies. But sometimes, you don’t want to make a whole batch and end up eating too many. Or maybe you just want to surprise your partner with a sweet treat. That’s why I’m going to show you how to make chocolate chip cookies for two!

These cookies have a caramelised brown sugar flavour with the right amount of salt and full of chocolate chips. I also put some chocolate chunks on top which create the most gorgeous pools of melted chocolate on top of the cookies.

So how do you make just two chocolate chip cookies?

Making two chocolate chip cookies is so easy but I’m sure you are wondering how exactly? How many eggs do you use in the recipe for example?

Well don’t worry I am going to explain, you make the measurements with tablespoons. You will use 2 tbsp of butter instead of 1 cup. The entire recipe is measured in tbsp, which makes it very easy to weigh all the ingredients correctly.

Now I’m sure you are wondering about using a whole egg in a recipe that creates only two cookies. Well I promise the cookies do not taste ‘eggy’ at all. We only use the egg yolk in this recipe which makes the cookies fudgy and moist.

Tips for making the perfect chocolate chip cookies for two?

Sugar: Always use a mix of white and brown sugar when you make cookies.

Egg yolk: The egg yolk will make your cookies their soft and fudgy.

Vanilla extract: Is a must, it brings all the amazing flavours together.

Chocolate chips: Personally I think semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips are a must when making cookies. Milk chocolate is sweet and doesn’t create a well balled rich cookie.

Salt: Cookies (and most baked goods) need salt, especially cookies. The salt helps to balance out the sweet flavours in the cookie. Without it you really will notice the difference.
