How to Bake Cookies in Destiny 2

If you wanna bake cookies, you’re going to need something a little more useful than your bare hands and collection of hundreds of guns sitting in a vault you’ll never use. We need to get Eva’s Oven, which can be obtained by visiting her in the Tower.

Once you’ve spoken with Eva, the Oven can be located in your Quest log, shown below:

Every cookie requires two ingredients: one Uncommon, and one Rare. You’ll need to insert them into the Ingredients slot in your oven and bake the result to unlock the recipe, after which you can simply craft the cookie from the Recipe list. Uncommon ingredients are found by killing enemies of various faction, while Rare ingredients require the use of certain weapons, abilities, or elements:

Once you’ve collected ingredients, you’ll need to combine them with Essence of Dawning, which can be found at the end of any activity completion.

Once your cookies are baked, you’ll need to deliver them to their recipient. This will net you plenty of potential rewards, including new weapons, Dawning Spirit (used to purchase upgrades from Eva), and materials.

The best use of cookies is to complete bounties handed out by Eva, including her repeatable bounties which net 10 Bright Dust each. This is an excellent Bright Dust farm, as it essentially translates to Bright Dust every time you bake a cookie (given you have the right ingredients).

A full list of cookie recipes (which you’ll need to complete at least once to Masterwork your oven) can be found here.
