    Flourless Double Chocolate Chip Cookies are a 6 ingredient recipe that requires ZERO flour, only egg whites, and still magically comes out chewy, flavorful, and rich.

    I love to make cookies and a lot of the time I add in extra egg yolks because it gives a great consistency, richness, and color, but unfortunately, that leaves me with a bunch of egg whites to use up.

    While I do cook them into scrambled and omelets, making them into cookies seems more poetic. This way, they still get to live out their best lives in a cookie recipe.

    I make sure that when I Meal Plan on a Tight Budget I keep track of what groceries are "leftovers" in some recipes and where I can add them to others so that I don't feel wasteful. This also allows me to get a little more creative in the kitchen.

    Why This Recipe Works

    1. Everyone loves them! These double chocolate gluten free cookies are such a huge hit with the kids and chocolate lovers around here.
    2. They're really chewy and packed with chocolate chips. They remind me of the chewy edges of a brownie, so if that tells you how good they are- great.
    3. They can help use up egg whites. If you're like me and using extra egg yolks here and there, having recipes for egg whites only, really helps to make the most of your groceries.

    🥘 Ingredients

    Powdered Sugar- You'll need powdered sugar to make the cookies sweet.

    Unsweetened Cocoa Powder- Use some cocoa powder for that rich chocolate taste.

    Salt- This is a natural flavor enhancer.

    Vanilla Extract- Vanilla is another great flavor enhancer.

    Egg whites- Use fresh egg whites or measure egg whites from the carton. Both will work fine here.

    Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips- I love the contrast in flavor from using semi-sweet chocolate chips but you can just as easily swap them for milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate chips.

    For specific quantities, see the recipe card below.

    🔪 Instructions

    Check out how to make Flourless Double Chocolate Chip Cookies with these simple step-by-step instructions:

    Whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

    Use a spoon to stir in the egg whites and vanilla until the batter looks moistened. It should look thick and wet like a brownie batter. It should never appear to be as thick as cookie dough.

    Fold in the chocolate chips.

    Spoon the batter onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet in 1.5-2 tablespoon sized scoops. Leave 2 inches of space between each cookie.

    Let the cookies rest on the pan for 30 minutes to develop a skin on top. This means you'll be able to touch them without having the batter stick to your fingers.

    Bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes.

    📖 Variations

    You can change up the chocolate chips by using mini chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or even peanut butter chips (any baking chips will work).

    Using M&Ms would also work great!

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    Measure correctly

    Do NOT eyeball the vanilla (as tempting as it may be). Use exact measurements only or else your batter will be too wet.

    Get a good consistency

    If your batter is too wet, whisk in 1-2 Tablespoons of powdered sugar.

    Rest the batter

    You want to get that good skin on top of the cookies because this is what helps the cookie shape and texture to develop. It's incredibly important to not skip this step as this is what makes the flourless cookies turn out like cookies and not like a mess.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Recipe Scaling

    You can scale this recipe down to use only one egg white, if you do so, use 3 Tablespoons of cocoa powder. The rest of the measurements should be easy to bring down to ⅓ of the original size.

    💭 FAQs

    How long are chewy flourless chocolate cookies good for?

    These cookies can be kept stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 or 5 days.

    Can I freeze flourless chocolate cookies?

    You can freeze these cookies in an airtight container in the freezer (stacking is okay). They will last about 1 to 2 months this way. Simply thaw and enjoy.

    Can I use artificial sweeteners instead of powdered sugar?

    I cannot recommend using fake sweeteners as they will not hold up well in the recipe and can make these cookies even trickier to get right.
