Chewy Flourless Chocolate Cookies
1 ¾ cup powdered sugar½ cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons corn starch
¼ teaspoon salt
2 egg whites
1 cup chopped walnuts
Bake at 300 degrees for 16 to 19 minutes.
I love gingersnaps! One year I made a very large batch and we were eating them for weeks. I will only make a single batch from now on.My wife makes these gingersnaps for me once a year. They are super spicy and crisp, just the way I like them!
GINGERSNAPS (Makes 80 1½-inch cookies)
2 1/2 cups (12 1/2 ounces) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon pepper
pinch cayenne (I use heaping 1/8 teaspoon)
1 1/4 cups packed (8 3/4 ounces) dark brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger (I use 3 heaping tablespoons)
1 large egg plus 1 large yolk
1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) granulated sugar
1. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in bowl. Heat butter in 10-inch skillet over medium heat until melted. Lower heat to medium-low and continue to cook, swirling pan frequently, until foaming subsides and butter is just beginning to brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer butter to large bowl and whisk in ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, pepper, and cayenne. Cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Add brown sugar, molasses, and fresh ginger to butter mixture and whisk to combine. Add egg and yolk and whisk to combine. Add flour mixture and stir until just combined. Cover dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
2. Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions and heat oven to 300 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place granulated sugar in shallow baking dish or pie plate. Divide dough into heaping teaspoon portions; roll dough into 1-inch balls. Working in batches of 10, roll balls in sugar to coat. Evenly space dough balls on prepared baking sheets, 20 dough balls per sheet.
3. Place 1 sheet on upper rack and bake for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, transfer partially baked top sheet to lower rack, rotating 180 degrees, and place second sheet of dough balls on upper rack. Continue to bake until cookies on lower tray just begin to darken around edges, 10 to 12 minutes longer. Remove lower sheet of cookies and shift upper sheet to lower rack and continue to bake until cookies begin to darken around edges, 15 to 17 minutes. Slide baked cookies, still on parchment, to wire rack and cool completely before serving. Cool baking sheets slightly and repeat step 2 with remaining dough balls.
TO MAKE AHEAD: Dough can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 1 month. Let dough stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before shaping. Let frozen dough thaw overnight in the refrigerator before proceeding with recipe. Cooled cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks in airtight container.
Am I the only one who loves these cookies after dipping into a cup of coffee?I love gingersnaps! One year I made a very large batch and we were eating them for weeks. I will only make a single batch from now on.
I have a thing about sweets for breakfast. I do love these gingersnaps dipped in coffee. The whole large batch that I made was eaten that way!Am I the only one who loves these cookies after dipping into a cup of coffee?
NO... You are not the only one... Make mine coffee with cream...Am I the only one who loves these cookies after dipping into a cup of coffee?
Oh yes, got to have cream!NO... You are not the only one... Make mine coffee with cream...
==I'm not sure if these belong here- but here are some no-cook bites I made last week. I ended up frankestiening the recipe. I'll need to write it out, but basically its dates, coconut oil, desiccated coconut, honey, cocoa powder and vanilla essence, all thrown into the food processor, then rolled up into coconut and put in the fridge.
This is the basic idea, but I changed the amounts and left out the salt Date Coconut Protein Balls

Just Curious as too when the Oats get Cooked or is that when they are stirred in after peanut butter and vanilla is smooth...?!? Is that Mixture Warm enough to cook the oats...? Thanks...These classic no bake cookies can be made in minutes and are the perfect after-school treat, a must for holiday cookie trays, and the best “just because” cookie.

- 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup (135 grams) peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups (267 grams) quick-cooking oats
DIRECTIONS:
- Add the first five ingredients (through the salt) to a 4-quart saucepan.
