Flourless Chocolate Cookies Recipe
This Flourless Chocolate Cookies Recipe is FULL of chocolate! They're rich and fudgy cookies that taste like a brownie and by happenstance, they're gluten-free! And they taste like brownies!
Servings: 12 cookies
Cost: $8
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups (283g) powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (80g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2-3 large egg whites (room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup (85g) chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Sift together the powdered sugar, salt, and cocoa in a large bowl. Add egg whites and vanilla and stir until a thick mixture forms. It will look like it’s not enough liquid - just keep stirring, but do it carefully so you don’t spill cocoa mixture all over the place. The batter will eventually come together. It’s very, very thick. Stir in the baking chunks and nuts, if using.
- Add vanilla extract and 2 large egg whites and mix carefully. It will be very thick; if it's very crumbly even after mixing for a minute or so, add the third egg white. The batter will be thick. Stir in chocolate chips (and nuts, if using). Let batter sit for 30 minutes before scooping.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Yes, even though you’re using parchment you need to spray it or grease it. You can use silicone baking mats, but spray them too.
- Scoop 1 or 2 tablespoon sized balls of dough onto the cookie sheets, leaving a few inches between them. The dough is thick and sticky and the cookies will spread.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes until most of the cookie is no longer glossy. There may still be a spot or two of glossy in the center. Let cool completely before removing from the pan using a spatula. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.

Notes
- Make sure to measure these correctly. Do not pack your powdered sugar or cocoa. It's best if you weigh the ingredients to ensure you do not use too much.
- Dutch process cocoa is fine
- If you're making these GF make sure your powdered sugar is GF.
- The dough is thick when it's stirring together - it WILL come together!
- Don't forget to spray your parchment with nonstick spray or they'll stick bad.
