Flourless Chocolate Cookies
Description
This recipe uses a combination of powdered sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder sifted together, mixed with salt for balance. Whisked egg whites and vanilla extract are folded into the dry ingredients, creating a sticky batter that binds the components without flour. Chocolate chips are added for bursts of melty sweetness throughout.
The dough is formed into tablespoon-sized balls dropped onto greased or parchment-lined cookie sheets with spacing to allow spreading. Letting the dough rest on the sheet for 30 minutes before baking helps the cookies form distinctive crackled tops while maintaining a tender interior. Baking at 350°F for 7-9 minutes finishes the cookies with a slightly crisp exterior and soft middle.
The resulting cookies store well at room temperature and can be frozen for longer preservation, making them convenient for making ahead.
Ingredients
- 2½ cups powdered sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 large egg discard the yolks, whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Lightly grease cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray or line sheets with parchment and then lightly grease. (Greasing is necessary even with parchment paper so that the cookies don't stick).
- In a large bowl sift the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
- In a small bowl whisk the egg whites.
- Stir the egg whites and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. It will get sticky like glue.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Drop the batter into tablespoon-sized balls on the greased cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart. I like to use a cookie scoop for this.
- Allow to sit on the baking sheet for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F as the cookies are resting.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 7-9 minutes or until the tops look crackly.
Notes
- Cookies keep fresh in an airtight container for 4 to 5 days.
- For longer storage, freeze in a container separated by parchment paper layers for 1 to 2 months.
