Flourless Chocolate Cookies Recipe
Flourless Chocolate Cookies are rich and chewy with powdered sugar, cocoa powder, egg whites, vanilla, and chocolate chips.
Servings: 20 cookies
Ingredients
- 2½ cups powdered sugar
- ¾ cup unsweeted cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 large egg whites, discard the yolks
- 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
Recipe Tips.
- Sift the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt so the batter is smooth and clump-free.
- Lightly grease the baking sheet even if using parchment so the cookies release easily.
- Space the cookie dough at least 2 inches apart because the cookies spread as they bake.
- Let the scooped batter rest on the baking sheet for 30 minutes before baking for the best crackly tops.
- Make-ahead tip: bake the cookies ahead and store them in an airtight container, or freeze baked cookies for later chocolate cravings.
