Small Batch Flourless Chocolate Cookies
These small batch Flourless Chocolate Pecan Cookies are rich, chewy, and fudge-like—made without flour, butter, or oil! This easy recipe uses cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and chopped pecans to create 5-6 delicious cookies, the perfect amount for one or two people.
Servings: 6 cookies
Ingredients
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large egg white
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips (1-ounce)
- ¼ cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt to remove any lumps.
- In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer to whisk the egg white and vanilla extract until frothy.
- Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until the batter is smooth.
- Fold in the chocolate and pecans until evenly combined.
- Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are shiny and have cracks.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Whisk the Egg White Properly: Ensure your bowl is clean and dry before whipping the egg white. Any grease or moisture can stop it from reaching full volume.
- Space the Cookies: The batter is thinner than regular cookie dough and will spread while baking. Leave at least 2 inches between each scoop on the baking sheet.
- Use Parchment or a Liner: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking. If cookies stick, they might need a little more baking time. Use a thin spatula to gently lift them if needed.
- Let Them Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them. They’ll firm up as they cool, making them easier to handle.
