Flourless Chewy Chocolate Cookies

These chewy chocolate cookies are gluten free, flourless, and fudgy delicious! 
 
 
I actually found this recipe about 2 years ago, but it is so good… I have been seeing beautiful flourless chewy chocolate cookies on Pinterest lately so I have been thinking about whipping up another batch, like tonight… or tomorrow with Etta, she loves to make cookies!  And we both love eating, them…
 
 
Flourless Chewy Chocolate-Walnut Cookies
 

2 3/4 cups walnut halves
3 cups confectioners’ sugar
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350.

 
Spread the walnut halves on a large-rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 9 minutes, until they are golden and fragrant.  Allow them to cool, then chop them coarsely.
 
Position two racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and lower temperature to 320.

Line two large-rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk (or combine in an electric mixer on low speed) the confectioners’ sugar with the cocoa powder and salt followed by the chopped walnuts. While whisking (or once you change the speed to medium), add the egg whites and vanilla extract and beat just until the batter is moistened (do not overbeat or it will stiffen).

Spoon the batter onto the baking sheets in 12 evenly spaced mounds, and bake for 14 to 16 minutes, until the tops are glossy and lightly cracked; shift the pans from front to back and top to bottom halfway through to ensure even baking. Slide the parchment paper (with the cookies) onto 2 wire racks. Let cookies cool completely, and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days
