Flourless Red Velvet Cookies

This recipe for flourless red velvet cookies makes an indulgent, sweet, soft, and chewy cookie.

This recipe was an experiment that worked very well.

I was out of flour and itching to bake.  These red velvet cookies were the end result.  They didn’t come out as red as I had hoped, but they sure do taste good!

They are chewy (as you’d expect from a cookie with no flour) and sweet (as you’d expect from a cookie recipe that replaces flour with sugar), but they are really, really good!I tried this recipe with and without the chocolate chips.

For the ones without the chocolate chips, I used a cream cheese icing.  They turned out way too sweet and didn’t make the cut for sharing.

As far as this recipe (with the chocolate chips) goes, the semisweet dark chocolate chips saved the recipe.  If you used milk chocolate chips I can guarantee the cookies would be way too sweet.

Food coloring is tricky.  I always use paste or gel food coloring because a little goes a long way and it doesn’t change the constancy of the batter.  What ever type you choose, add it a little at a time until it has the desired the color and consistency.

1. Preheat oven to 350f/175c.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, salt, cornstarch & baking soda
4. Beat in two egg whites and the vanilla extract and vinegar and food coloring until the batter is moistened.
