DAILY HAUNT #1

Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies!!

What could be more frightening than a flourless cookie????  

Shkary Shtuff Indeed.

These little chewy devils whip up super fast and everyone is surprised when then they take their first bite.

Here is what you will need:



3 C. Powdered Sugar
1/2 C. Unsweetened Dark Cocoa Powder
1/4 T. Salt.... I prefer grainy sea salt, a little speck of salt here and there mixed with the chocolate is divine.
1 bag Chocolate Chips
4 Large Egg Whites
1 Tbl. Vanilla

(countless add-ins are possible with these dudes.  Raisins, mini marshmallows, crisped rice, dried cranberries or cherries.... I could go on and on.  Use your imagination or just check what you have in the pantry, that works too.)

Heat oven to 350  *I'm at about 5,000 feet so I turn it down to 325.

Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Set out 2 large cookie cooling racks.

Mix sugar, cocoa powder and salt in a large bowl, mix by hand until well blended.  Add chocolate chips and stir them in too.  Now add your egg whites and vanilla.  Just use a spoon or spatula to mix this unusual cookie dough until ingredients are well blended.

Drop cookie mix onto parchment using a small ice cream scoop.  Allow space for them to spread during cooking because they WILL.

This is optional but I like to put my lined cookie sheet with the mounds of cookie dough in the freezer for 5-10 minutes then pop it in the oven.  I found that this gives them a little more eewy gooey yumminess.

Take the sheet out of freezer and pop them straight into the oven for 9 minutes.  You want to see the cookie starting to crack and it will have a shiny surface.  If that's what you see.... pull 'em out fast.    I let them sit for about 1 minute and then lift them out, paper and all and place them on the cooking racks.  Now, DONT touch them, just let them be for a few minutes.  Once cooled the cookies will peel away from the parchment and BAM, just like that, cookies are born and humans are happy.
