FLOURLESS COCOA COOKIES



Flourless Cocoa Cookies image

Glossy and near black in color, these intense, easy-to-make chocolate cookies are like a cross between fudge and the deepest of brownies -- and gluten-free to boot. We discovered them in "The Fearless Baker" by Erin Jeanne McDowell. A little cinnamon gives them a spicy complexity, but you can leave it out for a more purely chocolate flavor. Be sure to use bittersweet rather than semisweet chocolate, or they could end up cloying rather than balanced.

Time 20m

Yield 2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 eggs
3 cups/340 grams confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 cup/106 grams unsweetened cocoa powder

  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended.
  • In another large bowl, sift together confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon and salt. Whisk into eggs, changing to a spatula when the batter becomes too thick to whisk. Stir in vanilla and chocolate.
  • Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop cookies onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 1 1/2 inches between them. Sprinkle with flaky salt.
  • Bake, rotating front to back, and top to bottom, halfway through, until set around the edges, cracked on top and slightly underbaked in the middle, 10 to 13 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely on the baking sheets. Store carefully in an airtight container.

FLOURLESS COCOA COOKIES



Flourless Cocoa Cookies image

Whenever I'm called upon to make something gluten-free, I opt for classics that are naturally sans wheat flour--like Pavlovas, Macarons, Macaroons, and these flourless cocoa delights. These cookies are tender, delicately chewy, and incredibly chocolaty--if a brownie and a cookie had an affair, this would be their love-child. I like to add a sprinkling of flaky Maldon salt, because these are for grown-ups.

Time 25m

Yield 22 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

170 grams (3 large) eggs
340 grams (3 cups) powdered sugar
106 grams (1 1/4) cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 gram (1/2 teaspoon) ground cinnamon
1 gram (1/4 teaspoon) fine sea salt
7.5 grams (1 1/2 teaspoons) vanilla extract
142 grams (1 cup) bittersweet chocolate chunks
Maldon salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, lightly whisk the eggs.
  • Sift together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add to the eggs, whisking until the mixture forms a smooth batter, about 1 minute. Add the vanilla and chocolate chunks and mix until fully incorporated; switch to a rubber spatula if necessary. The batter will be very thick and sticky.
  • Use a No. 30 (2-tablespoon) scoop to portion the batter onto the prepared baking sheets--stagger the cookies, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between them. Sprinkle a little Maldon salt on each cookie.
  • Bake the cookies, rotating the sheets from front to back and top to bottom at the halfway mark, until set around the edges and cracked on top, 10 to 12 minutes. The cookies may look slightly underbaked in the center--that's exactly what you want. Cool the cookies completely on the pans.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect texture, make sure to use a combination of cocoa powder and melted chocolate. This will give the cookies a rich chocolate flavor and a gooey center.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them develop a crispy exterior and a gooey center.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to set properly.

Conclusion:

These flourless cocoa cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor and gooey center, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are in the mood for a sweet treat, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
