Flourless chocolate cookies made with only cocoa powder and high quality bittersweet chocolate and Andes Candies mixed in taste rich and deeply chocolatey
I find when eating chocolate cookies or chocolate cake, if you were to close your eyes and take a bite you might not even know you were eating chocolate. To me, chocolate cookies hardly ever actually taste like chocolate (and chocolate cake even less often).
These cookies, however, include nothing but chocolate. Instead of using flour, I’ve used only cocoa powder, and with the added melted bittersweet chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips you are getting the taste of chocolate through and through. The minty Andes candies added to the extra chocolatey, chocolate cookies are really a great match and make for a nice festive treat.
Notes:
- Using high quality cocoa powder and bittersweet chocolate really makes a difference in these cookies. The two brands that I've tried and liked are Ghirardelli (found at Target) and Guittard (found on Amazon).
- These cookies do not contain any flour, and you would never notice the difference. It keeps the cookies extra chocolatey using only cocoa powder and melted bittersweet chocolate to make the chocolate batter.
