Flourless Chocolate Brownie Cookies

Mmmm....Mia and I whipped up a batch of these delightsome cookies the other day.  They are a little bit like  Go To Bed Mints, only chocolate, and a little chewier inside.  They're chewy, crispy, chocolaty, yummy.  The original recipe didn't call for marshmallows....Mia and I added those because that just sounded good.  : )  The batter is stiff to mix up so it might be best to use a stand mixer - my hand mixer was working pretty hard.

Flourless Chocolate Brownie Cookies

Ingredients

• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 2/3 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 3 large egg whites, at room temperature
• 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• mini marshmallows 

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a large bowl, mix together powdered sugar, cocoa powder and sea salt. Add in vanilla. Whisk in egg whites until just moistened. Add in chocolate chips.
3. Spoon thick fudgy batter onto cookie sheets in small mounds.  Gently press 3-4 marshmallows onto each cookie. Chill for 5 or so minutes to keep them from spreading too much when they bake.
4. Bake for 14 minutes or until tops are glossy and lightly cracked.

Notes

These cookies are considered “gluten-free” if using gluten free chocolate chips.
