Indulge in a yummy treat, without blowing your diet! Gluten-free flourless cookies, both fudgy and rich with less than 70 calories per cookie.
Both light and crisp at the edges, the centers are fudgy and rich like that of a brownie. At 68 calories each, these cookies are much lighter and don’t take much time at all. Simply whip these up while the oven is preheating.
Recipe Note: Most people have had better luck with 3 egg whites, while others have had success with the recipe as written. You may want to commence with 3 egg whites and only add the 4th egg white if needed.
Since these are flourless fudge cookies, the batter is not a thick cookie batter. Therefore, please take note that the cookies would be thin, with crispy edges and soft middles, ideal for individuals looking forward for a softer, chewier & gluten-free cookie with add-ins.
