Flourless Double Chocolate Chewy Cookies

My Flourless Double Chocolate Chewy Cookies are everything you want in a chocolate cookie: dark, rich, sweet, toothsome and satisfying. You’ll never look at another chocolate cookie again after you’ve had these! These make a perfect gift for Valentine’s Day or any day!

I went to lunch with a friend not too long ago. She told me this story about how she made flourless chocolate cookies for her boyfriend (now her husband) and they were so terrible, she declared that all cookies should have flour in them. I kept my lips zipped, but I’ve made some epic flourless chocolate cookies!

I’ve actually made these in several versions. I made them with nuts, with coconut, with espresso, with peanut butter…obviously I’m a chocoholic. The problem? My recipe was really out-dated.

Yes, it was published here. But my tastes change, your tastes change, the recipe needed to change. So that’s what I’ve done! I based these cookies off of an old recipe of mine but these are MUCH better. And the pictures are slightly more attractive (I hope), so there’s a double win.

My husband decided that for Valentine’s Day, he wants to buy a couple nice steaks and grill them at home, and I’ll make the sides and dessert (ie he couldn’t get a reservation). I’m fine with that! And I’m pretty sure he’s hell bent on me making these cookies (because he ate the whole first batch!).

These cookies are not your average flourless cookies. First of all: DOUBLE chocolate. Second: I included flax meal and chopped oats to give them texture and chew. Third: they’re shiny, beautiful and taste killer when dipped in hot coffee or hot chocolate!

Enjoy! xxoo

Ingredients

1. 1 cup powdered sugar
2. ½ cup oats
3. 3 Tbs flaxseed meal
4. ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
5. pinch of coarse salt
6. 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
7. 1 tsp. vanilla extract
8. 2 egg whites

Instructions

1. PREP: In a blender or food processor, pulse the oats until small pieces but not as fine as flour. Next, pulse the chocolate a few times to break it into varied sizes.
2. Preheat your oven to 360 degrees F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment and spray with nonstick spray.
3. In a large bowl, combine the powdered sugar, pulsed oats, flaxseed meal, cocoa and salt. Stir together until well combined. Then stir in the chocolate. Now, add the egg whites and vanilla. Use a silicone spatula or wooden spatula to stir until it comes together in a thick batter/dough (it may seem like it would never come together, but keep mushing and stirring and it will!).
4. Use a tablespoon to drop cookie dough, well spaced on the cookie sheets (6 per cookie sheet).
5. Bake for 12 minutes.
6. Let pans cool on a wire rack before carefully removing the cookies from the parchment. Enjoy!

Notes

1. Keep cookies in a well-sealed container on the counter for a week or in the fridge for a couple weeks.
