Easy, delicious, and GF brownie cookies

My specialty is not making GF or Vegan recipes. However, I would like to have some recipes for users with some dietary restrictions. These gluten-free brownie cookies are very light, airy, easy to make, and super delicious.

About This Recipe

This recipe uses very simple and basic ingredients that I am sure you already have in your pantry.
As the recipe name suggests, these cookies are gluten-free and perfect for those avoiding gluten in their diet.
I have added walnuts to this recipe for some additional flavour and crunch, but you can use pecans or even hazelnuts.
This recipe does not contain any oil or butter! Healthy cookies. Yes?!
These cookies expand quite a bit and are giant; feel free to make them smaller to bite-size.
These Gluten-Free Brownie Cookies contain only egg whites; that is where all the expansion comes from. You can save the egg yolks for a different project.

How to Make These Gluten-Free Brownie Cookies

We only need egg white for this recipe. Separate the egg whites and save the yolks for a different project, such as All Egg Yolk Cake.
Toast the walnuts or any other nuts you are using. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and place in a 350-degree oven for about 10 minutes until you can smell the aroma from the nuts.
Whisk all the dry ingredients, including the cocoa powder.
Start adding the egg whites to the dry ingredients, then add the toasted crushed nuts and chopped chocolate.
The mixture might look slightly dry initially, but keep mixing until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Scoop the batter on the lined baking sheet and bake.

Disclaimer: I highly recommend using the measurements in grams & ml (instead of cups & spoons) for more accuracy and better results.

4 cups Powdered sugar, Sifted
4 Egg whites
⅔ cup Cocoa powder, Sifted
½ cup Dark chocolate, Chopped
1 tablespoon Vanilla
¼ teaspoon Salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread chopped walnuts on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Toast for 10 minutes until slightly brown and fragrant. Let cool.
3 cups Walnuts
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
in a large bowl sift together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
4 cups Powdered sugar, ⅔ cup Cocoa powder, ¼ teaspoon Salt
Add in the egg whites and vanilla extract and mix with a rubber spatula.
1 tablespoon Vanilla, 4 Egg whites
Lastly, add the toasted walnuts, and chopped chocolate and mix.
3 cups Walnuts, ½ cup Dark chocolate
The mixture will look a bit dry, but keep mixing. I will become moist.
Using an ice cream scoop, place scoops of dough on the lined baking sheets. Be sure to leave at least 2 inches of space between them.
Bake for 15-18 minutes. Or until the surface starts cracking and the edges set.
Let cool down on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to the cooling rack.
