I feel like I am baking

all. the. time.

but my kids have been complaining that we never have anything to eat for dessert.

I decided to surprise them cookies,

flourless fudgy cookies

and not just any cookies,

flourless fudge cookies.

Itâ€™s almost like a brownie and a cookie got mixed together, only without any flour at all.

They are soft and fudgy, and loaded with chocolate flavor. These flourless cookies could possibly be the best cookie I have ever made or eaten. One bite and I knew Â I was in trouble. If Â I didnâ€™t hide the others, they would not have survived â€™til the kids got home.

A few cookies with a tall glass of milk, and I see homework getting done with out a so much as a groan or grumble. Makes baking when itâ€™s almost 90 degrees outside totally worth it Â #itâ€™stooearlytobesohot

In my warm kitchen, chilling the dough for an hour was not quite enough, it was still very soft when rolles, so I left it in the refrigerator for 2 hours. The dough can be chilled up to over night, but once rolled, make sure to flatten them slightly before baking.
