Flourless Butterless Chocolate Cookies Recipes

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Beat egg whites with an electric mixer on medium-low speed until well combined and foamy, but not stiff, about 2 minutes. Beat in vanilla extract.
• Stir powdered sugar, 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, pecans, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add to the beaten egg whites and stir with a spatula until just combined; the batter will look similar to brownie batter.
• Scoop mounds of the batter onto the baking sheets using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop. Space the mounds several inches apart, so there are 6 on each sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until puffed, shiny, and cracked, 13 to 17 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 3 to 5 minutes. Gently peel the cookies off the parchment paper and move to a cooling rack. Repeat with remaining batter once the baking sheets have cooled.

FLOURLESS, BUTTERLESS CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the over to 350°F.
• Line two baking sheeting with silicone mats or use non-stick baking pans.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and nuts, and mix for 1 minute on low speed.
• In another bowl, briefly whisk together the vanilla and egg whites.
• Increase the mixer's speed to medium and slowly add the vanilla and egg whites to the dry ingredients. Mix for 2 minutes. Scrape down the inside of the bowl.
• Scoop 2 ounces (a 1/4 cup measuring cup) of the batter onto the prepared sheets, leaving 3 inches between the cookies, which will spread and flatten as they bake (Note: mine did not flatten at all!).
• Place the baking sheets on the middle rack of the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 320°F.
• Bake for 14 minutes or until small, thin cracks appear on the surface and the cookies are firm to the touch.
• Allow to cool slightly then transfer for a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.

FLOURLESS TRIPLE CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
• Melt bittersweet chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
• Beat egg whites in a large bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form; gradually beat in 1 cup confectioners' sugar until mixture resembles soft marshmallow creme.
• Whisk 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt together in a bowl. Beat confectioners' sugar mixture into egg white mixture on low speed until a soft meringue forms. Stir in cooled melted bittersweet chocolate and dark chocolate until dough becomes stiff.
• Place remaining 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar in a bowl. Roll 1 rounded tablespoon of dough into a ball and roll ball in the confectioners' sugar, generously coated all sides. Repeat with remaining dough and sugar. Arrange cookies 2 inches apart on the baking sheets and sprinkle coarse salt over each.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops start to crack, 9 to 10 minutes. Cool cookies on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

FLOURLESS COCOA COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees and line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended.
• In another large bowl, sift together confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon and salt. Whisk into eggs, changing to a spatula when the batter becomes too thick to whisk. Stir in vanilla and chocolate.
• Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop cookies onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 1 1/2 inches between them. Sprinkle with flaky salt.
• Bake, rotating front to back, and top to bottom, halfway through, until set around the edges, cracked on top and slightly underbaked in the middle, 10 to 13 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely on the baking sheets. Store carefully in an airtight container.

CHEWY FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F
• Mix together sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt. Gradually add egg whites, stirring with a spoon until mixture forms a dough. (Mixture should be thick enough to form into balls; if not add more powdered sugar and cocoa). Add nuts; mix well.
• Form dough into 15 balls. Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake 16 to 19 minutes, until glossy and crackled. Cool completely.
