Flourless Hot Chocolate Cookies

Flourless Hot Chocolate Cookies are a rich, fudgy treat fancy enough to serve at a holiday party, but easy enough to whip up anytime chocolate cravings hit.

Flourless Hot Chocolate Cookies

These Flourless Hot Chocolate Cookies are such a simple cookie to bake when you don’t feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen but you need something chocolatey and delicious. I made these a few years ago for the Better Homes and Gardens Cookie Exchange.  They’re crisp on the outside, fudgy and chewy on the inside. A perfect chocolate treat!

I saw these Volcano Cookies and thought all they needed were some tiny marshmallows to make them complete. I adapted the recipe to make them just like my favorite Winter drink, HOT CHOCOLATE, and a new favorite recipe was born!

Are Flourless Hot Chocolate Cookies Healthy?

These gluten-free chocolate cookies have no extra oil, or added sugar and only have a little bit of chocolate (and to me that’s totally part of a healthy diet) so I’d say these cookies are better for you health-wise than most. Everything in moderation, right? The flavor is so rich and divine; they really satisfy sweet cravings!

Can You Freeze Flourless Hot Chocolate Cookies?

Yes! You can made several batches ahead of time and freeze them for up to three months. They make the perfect treat to give to neighbors, friends, or to have with a cup of coffee in front of the fireplace any old time.

Ingredients

• 1 lb. powdered sugar
• 3/4 c. unsweetened cocoa
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 4 large egg whites
• 1 cup good quality milk chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup mini marshmallow bites in the shaker...if you can't find these mini mini ones, cut small marshmallows in fourths, plus more for garnish

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In large bowl, whisk sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt.
• Add egg whites and beat until smooth. Add chocolate chips and 3/4 cup mini marshmallows. Place bowl in fridge and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
• Using a spoon, drop 1 inch balls of dough, 2 inches apart, onto prepared cookie sheet. The dough is pretty thin, so don't be worried if they flatten quite a bit. Sprinkle cookies with extra marshmallows.
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until set and crackly. Let cool on cookie sheets 3 minutes; then transfer to a cooling rack until cool. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Enjoy!
