flourless — Housewife's Whimsy

I first had these cookies when they were made by my sister. She did a fantastic job and I just knew I had to have the recipe so I could make them too! They are gluten free and so amazingly rich and chocolaty. If you need a chocolate fix these are the cookies you want.My sister always makes these cookies with Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips, however you can make these with any chocolate chips you have on hand if you don’t have additional dietary restrictions to take into consideration. I prefer to add some vanilla extract to the batter. I think it make the flavor a little more complex. However if you have trouble with extracts you can simply leave this out.You will want to make sure the batter is stiff before you go to roll it. If the batter is runny in the slightest your cookies will not turn out the way you want. Make sure that the egg whites form a soft peak before you add any additional ingredients. Once everything has been added simply make sure there is no liquid left in the bowl at all.
