Sin-Free Chocolate Chews image

Utterly flourless, simply gluten-free, almost fat-free, and absolutely delicious. The egg whites give these cookies a lovely chewy texture, and cocoa powder packs a serious punch. From the King Arthur Flour web site, slightly modified.

Time 3h27m

Yield 14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup cocoa powder (Dutch-process or natural)
3 egg whites
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Whisk together the sugar, salt, and cocoa.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir together the egg whites and vanilla.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the egg whites, and mix at low speed of an electric mixer for 2 minutes. The batter will seem dry at first, but will become shiny and smooth as it mixes.
  • Cover the bowl, and refrigerate the batter for 3 hours, or up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Grease (or line with parchment paper) two cookie sheets.
  • Gently stir in chocolate chips, if using.
  • Drop by ping-pong-sized balls onto cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 12 minutes, reversing baking sheets (top/bottom) once during cooking.
  • Cool 5 minutes in pans before transferring to wire rack.
