Well, it’s about time I step back into the world of unhealthy things (considering the last two food posts leaned toward wholesome goodness). But, if it helps, these flourless fudge cookies can be deemed gluten free. And, basically, that’s like diet dessert, right? What I found with this recipe is that cooking time really depends on your oven + pan. One pan of mine cooked in the allotted amount of time whereas the second took almost double. So ensure that a real crackly crust develops on top and that the bottoms aren’s totally mushy before removing from your oven.
