Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and I’ve been working on some dinner and dessert recipes for 2! Most of the time I cook enough for 4 people so we have leftovers for lunch or dinner the next day but when I make a special meal I like to make it just for two. Some of my favorite are filet mignon, baked potatoes, fried chicken, different fruit crisps for 2, and cupcakes.
I don’t really have any cookie recipes for 2 but cookies are probably my favorite dessert. I make them all of the time because they are quick to make and quick to bake. Plus a single, basic dough can make a variety of different cookies.
For Valentine’s Day I wanted to do something a little different. I made Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookies for 2! It’s similar to a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe but it’s baked in a ramekin. This recipe makes enough for two.
The cookie is soft and chewy inside but firm on the edges. I served it with a scoop of ice cream and a chocolate drizzle. This made for a rich and delicious dessert. However, I think a caramel drizzle would be tasty too and give the cookie a different flavor. Either way you serve it, this is a great Valentine’s Day dessert recipe.

Notes
Recipe adapted from Dinners, Dishes, and Desserts
Chocolate chip cookies are a favorite around here and I love that you baked these in ramekins! I’d take mine with caramel sauce but the hubby would definitely prefer chocolate 🙂
I seriously just tried these (twice). I made your version and then did a heart-healthy one. I plan on posting a version up next week with full shout-out and credit to you! Thanks for a two-fer recipe!
I find it so difficult to make desserts for two, but you make it look easy. Although I can imagine a world where this would be for one 😉
Hmm caramel drizzle? I guess I need to try it both ways! Yum!
I love this idea. It will be great when my sweet tooth hits but I don’t want to have extra desserts on the counter tempting me.
