Flourless Chocolate Brownie Gluten Free Cookies
Description
This recipe omits flour entirely, relying on cocoa powder and powdered sugar to create a chocolate base. Egg whites bind the ingredients, and vanilla adds aromatic sweetness. Folding in semisweet or dark chocolate chips along with optional chopped walnuts creates pockets of melted richness and crunch. After mixing, the dough must chill to firm up before scooping onto parchment-lined sheets to prevent spreading.
Baked at 350°F for 11 to 15 minutes, the cookies develop cracked edges indicating doneness while maintaining a dense, fudgy interior reminiscent of brownies. Finishing with sea salt flakes balances sweetness with a subtle savory touch.
These cookies are well suited for those seeking a gluten-free chocolate treat with texture contrast and intense flavor. They hold up as a snack or dessert and pair well with milk or coffee.
