Helpful Tip For Fudgy Chocolate Cookies Recipe

• Make sure to lightly grease the parchment paper. These paleo flourless chocolate cookies tend to stick easily, even with parchment paper. Lightly greasing the parchment paper ensures that the shape of the cookies won’t be ruined when you try to get them off the baking sheet.
• Once combined, the dough should be thick and sticky. If it’s too thick, you can add 1/2 of an egg white at a time until the consistency looks right.
• These cookies will spread quite a bit. Make sure to separate the cookies enough so they don’t bake into each other. Use 2 baking sheets, if needed.
• Don’t grab the cookies until they are completely cooled. Once they are cooled for 10 minutes on parchment, gently transfer them to a cooling rack using a spatula to cool completely.
