Easy 3 Ingredients Chocolate Cookies Recipe (Soft, Chewy & Quick Dessert)

Hey there, cookie lovers!
If you’re looking for a super quick, super simple cookie recipe that still tastes amazing, I’ve got just the thing for you 3-Ingredient Chocolate Cookies! These little treats are soft, chewy, and chocolatey, and guess what? You only need THREE things to make them. Yes, just 3!

I made these using a chocolate spread from @myprotein, but you can totally use your favorite one from the store or your pantry. It’s the perfect recipe to whip up when you’re short on time or just want something sweet without the fuss.

Method (In Depth)

Mix It Up

To start making these super simple chocolate cookies, grab a large mixing bowl. Add in your chocolate spread and crack in one egg. Using a spatula, mix the two ingredients together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. You’ll notice the egg helps loosen up the chocolate spread and creates a glossy texture. This step sets the foundation for a soft and rich cookie dough.

Add the Flour

Next, pour the all-purpose flour into the bowl with your chocolate mixture. At first, continue mixing with the spatula until it gets a little thick. Then, switch to your hands they really are the best tools here! Gently knead the dough until it comes together. It should be soft and pliable, not too sticky, and easy to roll into balls. Be careful not to overwork the dough stop as soon as everything is fully combined.

Shape the Dough

Now it’s time to shape your cookies! Take a small portion of the dough and roll it between your palms to make a smooth ball, about the size of a walnut. Place each ball onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Make sure to leave some space between them so they don’t stick together as they bake.

Create the Middle Dip

To add a little fun twist, make a small indentation in the center of each dough ball. This can be done easily by pressing down with your thumb or using the back of a measuring spoon. The dip not only looks cute but also gives you a nice little space to add extra toppings after baking like more chocolate spread or colorful candies!

Bake Time

Preheat your oven to 170°C (about 340°F). Once the oven is ready, place your tray of cookies on the middle rack and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them they should look slightly puffed but not browned. It might seem like they’re not fully cooked, but don’t worry! They’ll set perfectly as they cool.

Cool & Decorate

After baking, remove the tray from the oven and let the cookies cool for at least 10 minutes. This part is important because the cookies will be soft right out of the oven and need time to firm up. Once cooled, feel free to add a bit more chocolate spread in the center of each cookie, and decorate with toppings like mini chocolate eggs, sprinkles, or chopped nuts. Have fun with it!
