Description

These Fudge Cookies are the bomb! They’re soft, and chewy, and absolutely packed full of deep chocolate flavor. Oh, and did I mention they’re gluten-free and dairy-free too? You are going to love these cookies!

Ingredients

  • 4-½ cups Confectioners Sugar (Sifted)
  • 2 cups Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder, Sifted
  • 6 whole Large Egg Whites
  • 4 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 teaspoons Espresso Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Fine Salt

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 2 half sheet pans with Silpat liners (parchment paper can be used, but they won’t look as nice those baked on Silpat liners).

Stir sifted confectioners sugar and cocoa powder together in bowl of stand mixer. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and place on mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until ingredients are completely combined and dough is smooth and glossy (cover mixer with a clean kitchen towel to prevent sugar and cocoa dust from getting all over the place).

Allow cookie dough to rest for 10 minutes at room temperature. Use a #50 scoop to portion dough onto prepared half sheet pans. Bake one sheet pan at a time on center rack for 8–12 minutes. The cookies should begin to crack when they’re done. Remove from oven and allow to cookies to cool completely on sheet pan.

Recipe can be halved. Store cookies in an airtight container between layers of wax paper.

These cookies are definitely chewy and fudgy! My dough ended up being extremely thick (my mixer had to work pretty hard) and it never achieved the smooth and glossy texture described in the recipe. I rolled it into balls instead of using a scoop. They didn’t spread as much as the cookies pictured, but I liked the thick, chewy cookie. After I’d already mixed everything, I saw the original post with a comment about weighing ingredients. Maybe my six egg whites didn’t make up the quantity required for a less stiff dough. Still, I think it all worked out. Thanks for sharing!
