4 Ingredient Midnight Cookies
If you love dark chocolate, then you will love these cookies. They are bittersweet, intense, and delicious. Plus, they're easy to make with only 4 ingredients and you don't need a mixer.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dark chocolate spread, (see note)
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp brown sugar, (see note)
- 1/2 cup packed plus 1 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp espresso powder, optional (see note)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine flour, sugar, egg, (espresso powder if using), and chocolate spread in a large bowl and mix together with a spoon until the dough comes together and no flour lumps remain.
- Make smooth dough balls, about 1 1/2 inch in diameter, rubbing between palms to smooth the surface of the balls. Place on cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart. Press down slightly on dough so the dough balls form thick round disks rather than perfectly round balls. Cookies will not spread much during baking so make sure to smooth edges and surface of dough.
- Bake for about 10 minutes. Cookies should be mostly set, but might be slightly still soft in the middle. Let cookies cool on rack until completely set. Enjoy while still slightly warm or after completely cooled.
Notes
- I bought my chocolate spread at Cost Plus World Market.
- If you prefer a sweeter cookie, you will need to add more brown sugar.
- Espresso powder enhances the chocolate flavor in these cookies. You can't taste it, but you can omit it if you prefer not to use it.
