These are the ingredients I used to make my cookies. Rodelle Gormet Baking Cocoa has a richer, deeper chocolate flavor and the Rodelle Vanilla Bean Paste gives the cookies a nice vanilla flavor that doesn’t disappear after baking. I love using Swerve sugar replacement in these kinds of recipes, because Swerve does not have any weird after taste or side affects. Plus it’s a simple cup for cup swap with regular sugar!
So this flourless chocolate cookie cup recipe actually started out as cookies. See? They looked fine before I put them in the oven…
But for the life of me, I could not make these cookies keep their shape during baking, and ended up with chocolate puddles every time. But delicious chocolate puddles. So to fix it, I turned them into cookie cups! I prefer thicker cookies over thin cookies anyways 🙂 By baking them in cupcake liners, there’s no other option than thick cookie cups (aka: no flat puddles of cookies).
Keto Flourless Chocolate Cookie Cups
Print RecipeIngredients
- 3 cups Swerve powdered sugar (or use regular powdered sugar)
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I used Rodelle Gourmet Cocoa Powder)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- pinch salt
- 3 egg whites
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste (I used Rodelle Vanilla Bean Paste)
- 1 teaspoon butter extract (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cupcake tine with 9 cupcake liners and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, salt, egg whites, vanilla bean paste, butter extract and chocolate sprinkles. Mixture will be sticky.
Use a standard sized cookie scoop to scoop batter into cupcake liners, filling 2/3 full of batter. Bake in 350-degree oven for 12-14 minutes. Remove from oven and let set for several minutes in the cupcake tin before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
Notes
Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
So these might not be the prettiest cookies, but because they were so yummy, I still had to share the recipe with you. The sprinkles on top were my attempt at trying to make these pretty hahaha #fail.
I shared these cookies with my sister and brother-in-law, because my brother-in-law is always looking for healthier treats and Wendy just happened to stop by my house right after I was done making these. Wendy texted me later to say that both her and Aaron loved these!! I know I will make these cookies again because they are THAT good! And guilt free!!
So tell me…
-
Have you ever made flourless chocolate cookies before? What did you do so they didn’t turn into large, flat puddles??

Do you like my sprinkle of healthier treats I have started including on the blog?
