Ingredients For Flourless Cookies
- powdered sugar
- unsweetened cocoa powder
- kosher salt
- 3 large egg whites
- pure vanilla extract
- creamy peanut butter
- chocolate chunks
How To Make Flourless Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place powdered sugar, cocoa powder and salt into a large mixing bowl, stir to combine. Stir in egg whites, peanut butter and vanilla until batter comes together. Stir in chocolate chunks then use a medium sized cookie scoop to scoop dough onto prepared cookie sheet. Place 2 mounds per row, leaving 1 1/2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 11-12 minutes, until mostly baked through. Remove from oven and let cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring. Serve cookies room temperature.
When dry ingredients are combined, add egg whites. Egg whites do not need to be beaten first.
Add creamy peanut butter and carefully stir. Batter will be very thick.
Chocolate chunks into the bowl! I love to use Trader Joe’s block of milk chocolate that I chop myself.
Gently stir batter until well combined. Again, batter will be thick for your reference.
Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet, 2 mounds per row giving a good 1 1/2-2 inches apart from each other.
Bake the cookies for 11-12 minutes, until baked through. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes before transferring. Cookies will continue cooking slightly.
How To Serve Flourless Cookies
Serve cookies room temperature, warmed slightly with a small scoop of ice cream and even chilled with a glass of milk.
Can These Cookies Be Frozen?
Yes, store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container and freeze for 3-4 months.

Can I use semi sweet chocolate for the chunks or do I need to use milk chocolate? Also, are either Dutch process or regular cocoa powder fine?
Yes, you can use semi sweet chocolate for the chunks and dutch process is just fine 🙂
I made a half batch and chose peanut butter chips instead of chocolate chunks. Tasty GF treat that is a keeper!
