Flourless Chocolate Cookies are called brownie cookies in our house because these cookies taste just like brownies!

Here is the deal with these cookies, once you make a batch of these Copycat Starbucks Flourless Chocolate Cookies I guarantee you will make another.

My husband literally stashed the cookies away so he could have one every day after work. This is funny because he isn’t the biggest sweet person, incredibly dark chocolate. So the fact that he loved these surprised me. He loves them warmed up in the microwave for a few seconds, I like them just at room temp.

Here is the funny thing about my husband and his love for these cookies, one afternoon after heating one up for a few seconds he topped it with a layer of Nutella. Oh. My. Goodness. So good. Rich, but oh so good. If you love Nutella, you’ve got to try it.

How do you make Copycat Starbucks Flourless Chewy Chocolate Cookies?

Baking & storing tips for Flourless Chocolate Cookies.

Do not store in the refrigerator after baking.

Something I love about this cookie recipe is that there is no need to refrigerate the dough before baking, so just bake straight away.

If you don’t have to use dark chocolate chips, you can use any other chocolate chip to substitute, dark chocolate is highly recommended.

Make sure only to use egg whites, not the whole egg, as this is what makes the meringue-like texture.

Keep them fresh and store them in a Ziplock bag or sealed container. A great tip to help them not to stick together is to place parchment paper in between each cookie.

To get that oven taste, heat in the microwave for a few seconds, yum!

  1. These cookies are so amazing. I made them for a little girl who is lactose intolerant and she loves them!
    Thank you so much for posting these!

  2. OMG these are fantastic!!!! I made them to sell at the concession stand at my Celiac son’s comedy performance and they sold out! They spread A LOT so I ended up with really big cookies. I’ve been asked to make them for the next performance too. I love that they use easily accessible, inexpensive ingredients and don’t require going to 6 different stores for some obscure flour blend. Thank you so much for this recipe.. It will become a staple in our gluten free household.

    1. Thanks! I’m not sure how it would work as the cocoa powder adds to the dry ingredients. You could definitely experiment though, and use different add-ins other than chocolate chips.

    1. We’ve always finished off the batch within a few days so I am not sure. I’d say up to a week in an airtight container at room temp, or longer in the freezer. They may lose their chewy texture after too long. Enjoy!
