Flourless Chocolate Cake Cookies
With a fudgy center and crackly top, these flourless chocolate cake cookies give you a rich, chocolate flavor that you can’t put down.
Ingredients
- 2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- 3 eggs large
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, powdered sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk with a hand whisk until well blended.Sift in the cocoa powder and salt to avoid lumps. Stir to combine using a spatula or whisk.Fold in the chocolate chips until fully incorporated. The dough should have a consistency that is not too runny but not overly thick.
- Prepare the baking tray: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment with cooking spray or brush it with melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Portion the cookies: Using a #20 scoop (or approximately 2 tablespoons), portion out the batter onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie as they will spread slightly.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes. Check them toward the end of the baking time to ensure they don't overbake.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Sift dry ingredients: Sifting the cocoa powder ensures a smooth batter without lumps.
- Room temperature eggs: Using eggs at room temperature helps achieve a more consistent batter.
- Customize the chocolate: Substitute semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate chips based on your preference.
- Add flavors: Enhance the cookies with a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of espresso powder.
- Portion evenly: Use a cookie scoop to ensure uniform cookies that bake evenly.
- Don't overbake: These cookies are best slightly underbaked for a fudgy texture. Look for a shiny, crackly surface.
- Cooling is key: Allow the cookies to cool completely before handling to prevent breakage.
- Store properly: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
- Make them gluten-free: Ensure all ingredients, especially cocoa powder and chocolate chips, are certified gluten-free if needed.
