Enjoy these irresistibly chewy and fudgy flourless chocolate cookies made with just a handful of simple ingredients. Their shiny surface and rich taste make them a delightful treat that you won't believe is flour, butter, and oil-free!
Preheat oven to 320°F (160°C) and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder and powdered sugar.
3
Add egg whites, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the dry mixture, then whisk until the batter is smooth and well-combined, with no pockets of powdered sugar remaining.
4
Adjust the thickness of the batter by adding more cocoa powder if necessary, keeping it thick and sticky.
5
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop small mounds of batter onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
6
Bake cookies for 15-18 minutes, until they are puffed up, have a shiny surface, and cooked through.
7
Allow the cookies to cool and set fully on the cookie sheet before removing.
8
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
