Flourless Peanut Butter Brownie Cookies

Amy Kay's Kitchen
Yields 2 dozen
Prep Time 5 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
  • 3/4 cups of cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup mini chocolate chips or mix it up with some peanut butter chips!
  • 4 egg whites
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare cookie sheet with parchment or silmat
  • In a medium bowl mix together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and mini chocolate chips
  • In the bowl of a mixer with whisk attachment, beat egg whites until thick and foamy, but not until stiff peaks (see picture above)
  • Briefly fold vanilla and peanut butter into eggs whites, don't worry about completely mixing in peanut butter -it will mix better when dry ingredients are incorporated.
  • Add in dry ingredients and stir until uniform and combined, the batter will be very thick
  • Use a cookie scoop to form cookie dough balls and place 2 inches apart onto prepared pan. If you want the cookies to bake up smooth and uniform (like pictured), gently roll each cookie dough ball in your hands to smooth surface.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 12-14 min or until dry and cracked on top.
  • Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheet for a couple of minutes and then move them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
