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 make these cookies 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.

Happy baking to all the new bakers and experienced bakers this holiday season!
Making these cookies right now. The ingredient list calls for 1/4 cup mini marshmallows but the instructions say 3/4 cup. Which is correct?
Whoops sorry about that Chris! You can add as much as you’d like, to make them thicker or thinner as you see fit. I added 3/4 cup but I’ve had a couple readers say that was too much for them. I’m updating the recipe now. Thanks so much for the heads up!
Thanks Becky! I used the 3/4 cups. I actually used the tiny Krafts Jet-Puffed Mallow Bits instead of regular mini marshmallows. (they are tiny and taste kinda like the marshmallows in Lucky Charms cereal). They came out great and I’m making them again today for a cookie swap I’m hosting tomorrow!
Awesome! So glad they were a hit :)
I cannot figure out why these didn’t turn out for me. I am a baker. Can you confirm the amounts are correct? Maybe my cornstarch was bad?? It is soooooo thick!! Like twice the thickness of brownie batter. It isn’t anywhere close to runny.
Oh wow. Mine was not thick at all. The amounts are definitely what i used. I’m so sorry to hear this!
My batter came out very thick as well. I was hoping that they would flatten out while baking but they stayed in the same shape so they are more round than flat. Basically mine do not look anything like the pictures. I’m going to try again with using more eggs to see if that works.
Girl!!! You need to bake more :) I love these cookies!!
You have been inspiring me with your beautiful stuff!
Ahh! I’m seriously the SAME when it comes to baking. It can be the absolute worst, but I’m so happy you posted this recipe. I love easy cookie recipes like this. It might be something even I can handle!
I’m so glad to know I’m not alone!! I wish we were neighbors :)
I can’t handle your cute propping girl! LOVE these photos and that they are non baker proof – which means these are my kinda cookie … oh and their chocolate!
Thank you!! Means a lot coming from you, you have been KILLING it lately!
