    Flourless Chocolate Raspberry Cookies

    Finished photoThe original recipe for these really chewy, rich flourless chocolate cookies comes from King Arthur Flour but of course I had to put in my 2 cents worth. This gluten free, almost fat free cookie goes together quickly with a whisk and a bowl or a hand mixer and bakes up in minutes. While it is good by itself, it is better if you sandwich them together with raspberry jam and sprinkle them with powdered sugar. These Flourless Chocolate Raspberry Cookies are amazingly fudgy and moist and have quickly become a favorite.

    Flourless Chocolate Raspberry CookiesIngredients 2 ¼ cups powdered sugar (255 grams or 9 ounces)
    ¼ teaspoon salt
    1 cup cocoa, Dutch process preferred* (85 grams or 3 ounces)
    2 teaspoons vanilla
    1 teaspoon instant coffee or espresso powder
    3 egg whites (100 grams or 3 ½ ounces)**
    Raspberry jam as needed, preferably seedless

    *Also referred to as European cocoa
    **The whites should be from size large eggs

      If I don't like raspberry jelly what would you suggest as a substitute?
      These look delicious.

        Hi Penny - substitute any other jam, but not jelly, you like. I don't think these particular cookies take well to buttercream though.

      Oh, I love those! And what a coincidence, i just baked this past weekend some flourless choc chip cookies using almond butter, oats, and coconut flakes. I loved their texture, chewy and soft

      your combination of choc and raspberries is for sure a classic!
