Flourless Chocolate Cookies

Posted on April 28, 2011 by in Blog

You know I can’t go anywhere with only one dessert.  That just isn’t my style.

So, once I made cheesecake with berry sauce for Jessica’s Passover dinner, I had to make something else.  Originally I planned to make Passover brownies.  They weren’t a ton of work, but the idea of separating eggs and whipping them separately just wasn’t in the cards that day. I wanted something easy.

I went through my gmail recipe folders to see what else I could make.  As soon as I found this recipe I knew it was the one.  A few months ago, I made these Flourless Chocolate Cookies with my mom and my family ate most of them that day.  There isn’t any butter, so they are healthy, right?

These cookies are easy to make and are really delicious.  The inside is chewy and fudgey, but the outside is light and crisp like a meringue.

    You’re description of these cookies makes them sound to die for!

    I LOVE flourless chocolate cookies and used to buy them from a little bakery in Portland. These look amazing! I can’t wait to try them out. :)

    Meringue like on the outside and fudgy on the inside. I want to make meringue-topped fudgy brownies now. Right now. Too bad I’m at my office.

    • KeepItSweet April 29, 2011 at 9:54 am #

      Um, so I just got to work but now I REALLY wish I was home in the kitchen to make that!

  9. Rachel @ The Avid Appetite April 29, 2011 at 10:43 am #

    These look absolutely fantastic! I love taking out the flour. Perfect for Passover or any day in my opinion!

    Not only do these look delicious, they’re something I can make for coworkers (one is gluten-free; the other is dairy-free) … AND, it’s a way to use up leftover egg whites after making ice cream. What a WIN!

    I love flourless choco cookies!!! Mmmmmm, thanks for sharing!

    With my bodies distaste for gluten (shame on me) I’m always ready for some flourless recipes! And chocolate? Well, I think we know how that ends, especially when it’s mixed with finals week, graduation, and prayers for a job ;)

      whoa proofread *body’s

      Definitely sounds like you need some cookies!

  13. Michelle @ A Voracious Appetite April 29, 2011 at 1:26 pm #

    Yum, these do look easy to make and easy to eat too, haha.

  14. cooking rookie April 29, 2011 at 2:49 pm #

    They look so appetizing that I am seriously considering making them right now… Yum!

  15. briarrose April 29, 2011 at 6:05 pm #

    Wonderful texture to these cookies. They call to the chocolate lover in me.

  16. pawsitivelife April 29, 2011 at 6:34 pm #

    I agree no butter and no flour indicates healthiness! If it doesnt than I will dilute myself and claim it does

  17. Kelly April 29, 2011 at 7:55 pm #

    Okay…I am definitely making these over the weekend. They look amazing!!!

  18. Kristen April 30, 2011 at 11:07 am #

    Those cookies look so good. I love flourless cake, so I am absolutely sure I would devour cookies like this. What a treat!

  19. Rylan Ty April 30, 2011 at 1:07 pm #

    Here we go again, Lauren! This really did make my mouth water like a hippo! My gosh! I love the crusting on top–which I really crave for on cookies! Will try!

    • KeepItSweet April 30, 2011 at 10:16 pm #

      Thanks, Rylan Ty!

  20. Lee Hock April 30, 2011 at 1:13 pm #

    I hope I can remember these for Passover next year, they look so amazing, I might just have to make them now.

    • KeepItSweet April 30, 2011 at 10:15 pm #

      They are worth it! I actually made another batch with my mom today:-)

  21. Rachel @ Rachel's Recipe Reviews April 30, 2011 at 4:08 pm #

    These look like they have an amazing texture. I’m printing this off right now. Yum!

  24. Bianca @ Confessions of a Chocoholic May 1, 2011 at 5:20 pm #

    I love making flourless coookies – but I’ve never used just egg whites before! Must.try.soon. They look delicious!

    I’m all over this cookie!

  28. Monica May 3, 2011 at 3:48 pm #

    This looks like everything you could want in a cookie. Yum!

  29. Amy @ Elephant Eats May 3, 2011 at 4:01 pm #

    Man, those look tasty. I think I’ve made something similar for Passover one year but they had walnuts instead of choco chips. YUM!

  30. Gourmanrine May 5, 2011 at 5:15 pm #

    These cookies look absolutely delightful! A real chocoholics dream! :)

  31. Denise @ Creative Kitchen June 5, 2011 at 5:42 pm #

    Oh man….these looks soo good I could reach right through my screen. I love flourless chocolate cake. And since they are grain free that would mean lower in carbs. I’m doing a 2 week low carb experiment. Of course that means I can’t have sugar right now, but these look like a promising option once I start adding carbs back in. So glad you shared!!

    These will be good for me. I have just checking the blogs of my foodie friends so found your flour less chocolate cookies. I would love if you come by sometime and share your thoughts on http://simpleglutenfreekitchen.blogspot.com/
