Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound powdered sugar 454 grams
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 63 grams
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch 7 grams
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 large egg whites 56 grams
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips 170 grams, Ghirardelli recommended
  • ¾ cup mini marshmallow bites 32 grams, in the shaker (if you can't find these mini mini ones, cut small marshmallows in quarters), plus more for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt together.

  • Using a spoon, drop 1-inch balls of dough, 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheet. The dough is pretty thin, so don't be worried if they flatten quite a bit. Sprinkle the cookies with extra marshmallows, if desired.

  • 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.

Notes

  • Mix the ingredients together really well so that they have an even texture throughout.
  • Because the hot chocolate cookies contain no flour, they do spread quite a lot, so allow them space on the baking sheet.
  • Let them cool completely before storing.
Storage: Store flourless hot chocolate cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
