Mega munchies XXL cookie: super easy AND super delicious!!

So i was just browsing around food blogs (all I do actually, I love looking at food) and I came across a XXL cookie on Sally's blog and decided I just had to try it and tweak it and boy did I ever... I have been making one a day every day since I first made it to test it... In fact, I am having one right now!

(Yes, hardcore Zelda fan here!)

They take about 3 minutes to prepare and 10 or 15 to bake and are just YUMMY.

You can make one super large one or divide the dough into 4 smaller ones and enjoy them throughout the day instead of all at once (I am more of an all-at-once kind of person).

These are not particularly low in calories but hey, they're a dessert, they are awesome and one's gotta live every now and then, right?

I have been trying lots of different variations and will be posting them but for now I'll stick to the basic chocolate chip version :)

Here goes the recipe, enjoy!

Servings: 1

Ingredients:

- 1 tbsp (15g) softened butter;

- 1/3 of a cup (45g) self-raising flour;

- 2 tbsp packaged egg whites (or 1 egg white or 30ml egg whites);

- 1/2 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract (opcional);

- Toppings to taste (chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, Reese's Peanut butter cups, etc!)

How to:

- Preheat oven to 400ºF and prepare (grease or place parchment paper) baking tray or silicone mat; 

- Place all ingredients except a portion of the toppings (for example if using 2 tbsp chocolate chips only add 1 tbsp into the dough and save the rest to top it) in a bowl and mix very very well, it should form a very thick dough;

- Place dough into tray or mat and top with remaining toppings as you wish;

- Bake for about 10 minutes or until edges are brown and enjoy!

Hello hello guys!

I know that on my last post I promised you this:

But I changed my mind and today I want to share something else with you. This:

Flourless chocolate peanut butter chips cookies

Yes you read right, flourless.

As in, with no flour or substitutes of any kind.

I personally am a big big fan of cookies and chocolate chip and chocolate chunk and everything cookies but I just get annoyed that they have such high caloric density that I can only eat one and not 22 like I want to.

These are not your typical cookies but are just as chocolaty, tasty, deep and amazing, I loved them (and ate about 11 of them) and so did my family (they ate the rest).

They have no butter, no oil, no fat and no flour, period. They consist of main 3 ingredients: sugar (aka Sweetener in my house), cocoa powder & egg whites.

They're also fast and easy to make and the chocolate flavor just erupts in your mouth when you first try them. I added in peanut butter baking chips but only because I like peanut butter in everything, you can add plain chocolate chips or nothing at all.

Here goes the recipe:

3 ingredient Flourless chocolate peanut butter chip cookies!

Makes just about 30 small ones :)

Ingredients:

- 2 cups powdered sugar (ou 1 1/2 cups Stevia sweetener + 10g cornstarch turboed together on a food processor);

- 3/4 cup cocoa powder;

- 4 egg whites (ou 1/2 cup packaged egg whites);

- 1 tbsp vanilla extract:

- 3 tbsps Reese’s peanut butter baking chips;

- 1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

- Pre-heat the oven to 375ºF;

- Prepare two baking trays (lining them with parchment paper or greasing them);

- In a large bowl whisk together sugar (or sweetener + cornstarch mix), cocoa and salt;

- Add in vanilla and egg whites and mix until batter is very well mixed and moist (it’ll be  thick);

- Add in baking chips and mix well again until they are evenly distributed;

- Use a tbsp to place batter in trays leaving enough room in between each one (I’d suggest about 1”);

- Bake for about 10 minutes or until cookies look a bit cracked on top (feel them: if them feel soft but though they’re done!);

- Let cool completely before removing from tray and eating all of them!
