aka, “Crinkle Cookies”. These are great to make with the egg whites left over from my brownie recipe, and if you have GF person in your house they’ll almost make up for not being able to have the actual brownies. Almost.
**UPDATE 01/13/25: Original recipe updated, plus new lemon variation – see notes on recipe!
- 3 c powdered sugar
- 2/3 c unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2-4 egg whites start with 2, add more if the batter is too thick (should be like thick brownie batter)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 bag chocolate chips I usually use semisweet but milk will work in a pinch
- Preheat oven to 355° F
- Line cookie sheet with parchment
- In a large bowl, whisk dry ingredients together
- Add egg whites and vanilla extract, whisking until fully blended. Dough should be thick but moist (like a very thick cake batter)
- Place spoonfuls of dough on prepared cookie sheet, leaving space for cookies to spread
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, until tops are glossy and cracked.
- Let cool for 5 minutes on sheet, then transfer to cooling rack (I have found this is easiest if I leave the cookies on the parchment, then remove the paper when the cookies are completely cool)
Lemon variation:
- Omit
- cocoa powder
- chocolate chips
- Add
- 1/3 c coconut flour
- 1 tsp lemon extract
- 1/2 tsp powdered lemon peel or 1 tsp lemon zest
