Flourless Chocolate Cookies

This flourless chocolate cookies recipe are chewy and taste like brownies! You can even add your favorite brownie add-ins if you wish.

Flourless chocolate cookies are delicious and easy to make. The ingredient list is similar to a meringue cookie recipe except this uses whole eggs instead of just egg whites. The directions are different from a meringue cookie though: you cook the cookies at a higher temperature for a short time resulting in a chewy cookie. However

The great thing about these chocolate cookies is that not only are they flourless, but they also use powdered sugar, so they are a great cookie to make when you are out of flour and granulated sugar.

How to Make Flourless Chocolate Cookies

To make this recipe you combine powdered sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, vanilla, and salt. That is all you need to make these cookies, but you can add some optional ingredients to tailor the cookies to suit your taste if you wish. I am sharing my 4 favorite variations, but feel free to come up with your own combination

Flourless Chocolate Walnut Cookies Variation

To make flourless chocolate walnut cookies, add 1 cup of chopped walnuts to the dough. This is my favorite variation. I think the walnuts help balance the sweetness of the cookies. If you don’t like walnuts, substitute your favorite nut for the walnuts.

Flourless Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies Variation

To make chocolate cookies with chocolate chips, add 1 cup of chocolate chips to the batter. I prefer to use mini-chocolate chips, so there is a more even distribution of chocolate chips throughout the dough.

Flourless Chocolate Toffee Cookies Variation

To make chocolate toffee cookies add 1 cup of toffee bits and 1 cup of chopped nuts. I prefer to use chopped almonds with my toffee bits, but you can use your favorite nuts or leave them out if you don’t like nuts.

Flourless Almond Joy Cookies Variation

Almond Joys are my favorite candy bar, so I just had to add coconut and almonds to these chocolate cookies! To make flourless Almond Joy cookies add 1 cup of shredded coconut (I prefer unsweetened coconut, but you can use sweetened if you wish) and 1 cup of almond sliced almonds (you can use chopped almonds if you don’t have sliced almonds). This ends up tasting like a cross between a macaroon and an Almond Joy because of the chocolate to coconut ratio, but I enjoy both treats, so I am cool with it.
