The article applies the Eilenberg-MacLane definition of cohomology groups and of a cohomological dimension (c.d.) to free semigroups with at least two generators. It is proved that a left ideal of a free semigroup (with at least two generators) has c.d. 1 if and only if it is free. The right hand analogue of this is true only for principal ideals: a principal right ideal of a free semigroup has c.d. 1 if and only if it is free. There is given an example of a right ideal with two generators of a free semigroup with two generators which is not free and has c.d. 1.
