CHEWY GOOEY FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE COOKIES

These cookies are hard to resist. They’re so ooey, gooey, brownie-like and completely composed of dark chocolate.  And they also happen to be flourless chocolate cookies.

These are adapted from Francois Payard, the chocolate expert. They may be flourless, which also makes them gluten free, but if you’re at all a fan of chewy brownies… you’ll likely enjoy these immensely.

They’re not a sturdy cookie -instead, they’re rather light and delicate. But one bite into them and you’ll be delightfully surprised at the rich chocolate flavor and the abundance of fudginess.

INGREDIENTS

• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 2/3 cup Dutch Process cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 to 4 large egg whites, at room temperature
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper (or silpat mats). If you use parchment paper, give it a light coating of nonstick spray.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar with the cocoa powder and salt. Whisk in the egg whites (start w/ just two) and vanilla extract and beat just until the batter is moistened. You're looking for a brownie-like, thick and fudgy batter consistency. If it seems too thick, add another egg white-- then a 4th one if it still seems too thick. Then gently stir in the chocolate chips.
