Flourless Chocolate Brownie M&M Cookies (Gluten Free)

This past year, Dude had a classmate who doesn't eat gluten, so was my challenge whenever I sent treats to school to find something delicious that the whole class can enjoy AND doesn’t require any special ingredients.

Also – I realize that I’m super fortunate that we attend a school where we can still bring homemade treats!

Anyhow, I wanted to bring cookies but didn’t want to buy any specialty flours, so I went on the hunt for a fabulous gluten-free cookie using everyday ingredients.

These cookies are a total sugar bomb – but hey – no gluten!

You definitely want to make these small, because they are intensely rich (but super delicious!)

So if you’re looking for a gluten-free splurge in a not so gluten free kitchen…these are the cookie for you!

Flourless Chocolate Brownie M&M Cookies (Gluten Free)

Recipe slightly adapted from Barefeet in the Kitchen

3 cups powdered sugar

¾ cup cocoa powder, sifted

1 tsp salt

1 egg

2 egg whites

2/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

2/3 cup mini M&M candies

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer.  Stir to mix.

Add the eggs and stir until thoroughly mixed.  Stir in the chocolate chips and M&Ms.

Line baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.  Scoop tablespoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2-inches apart.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are set and the tops of the cookies look cracked.

Cool on baking sheets, then remove and store in an airtight container.
