I found this recipe on Pinterest when I first started pinning and it didn’t take long for me to make them. The original recipe is from Recipe Girl and I edited a bit for our smaller household.
Easy enough and the ingredients were already in the house! Double score.
Ingredients:
Note – I like to go by weight, especially when baking.
- 180 grams powdered sugar (1.5 cups)
- 35 grams unsweetened cocoa powder (1/3 cup)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 45 grams liquid egg whites (3 tablespoons or 1 to 2 egg whites)
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 90 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips (1/2 cup)
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Sift together the sugar, cocoa and salt.
Mix well. Add the vanilla and the egg whites. Stir well. This is the point where you need to judge if you need to add more egg whites or not. It does not take much to change the consistency, so don’t add a whole white if you are using the whites. It is much easier to do this with the liquid egg whites. You want a stiff, brownie-type batter.
If the batter is too liquidy, then the cookies will spread out too much when baked. Stir in chocolate chips.
Using a small disher, portion out 11 cookie balls onto the cookie sheet. I use a disher that is probably 1/8th cup? This size:
You might actually get 12 cookies out of this, but I ate some of the batter 
Bake 14-15 minutes until the cookies are cracked on top. They will spread and flatten a little bit.
Remove parchment paper to a cooling rack. Let cookies cool completely before removing from paper. Trust me on this. They are too fragile to move until they set up.
Delicious!
The cookies are very delicate with a slightly crispy outside and kind of gooey inside. Store in an airtight container on the counter. I find the next day they are wonderful popped in the micro for 10 seconds before eating.
For 11 cookies, the stats per cookie are:
124 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, 24 grams of carbs, 1.5 grams of fiber, >1 gram of protein.
Oh yum, been looking forward to this recipe for a while. Might try whirling some palm sugar in the blender to replace the powdered sugar. Will be interesting to see if there are significant texture changes.
Oh how I love cookies.
Hope you are having an absolute BALL at Disney!

I’ve seen a pumpkin recipe similar to that, with no flour. This one looks good!
Yummy!! My fiancee has been put on a gluten free diet! I will have to make these for him!
Looks great! I could not control myself around those, sadly, so it will be a while before I bake them. I’m hopeless when it comes to resisting baked goods. Find it better to avoid avoid avoid, for the moment.

They look great, but why does it matter if it’s flourless when it has that much sugar?
