Black Friday Cookies
I couldn’t resist. These cookies came out so ooey, gooey, brownie-like and dark chocolate… that I simply had to dub them as Black Friday Cookies. For those not in-the-know, Black Friday is the name Americans give to the day after Thanksgiving– which happens to be our biggest shopping day of the year. I personally wouldn’t go anywhere near the mall on Black Friday if you paid me, but a zillion other people eagerly arrive at 5am to battle the crowds and long lines… all for a chance to get some good bargains. I figure these people might need some good cookies to come home to- these Flourless Chocolate Cookies.
These are adapted from Francois Payard, the chocolate expert. They may be flourless, which also makes them gluten free, but if you’re at all a fan of chewy brownies… you’ll likely enjoy these immensely.
They’re not a sturdy cookie -instead, they’re rather light and delicate. But one bite into them and you’ll be delightfully surprised at the rich chocolate flavor and the abundance of fudginess.
Deconstructed 
Enjoy Black Friday! And whether you’re out there in the wild world of shopping or enjoying the peace and quiet of home, I hope you’ll have the opportunity to try out these cookies.

After what seems months of hearing nothing but pumpkin this and pumpkin that; I am now REALLY craving chocolate and I love the notion of flourless cookies.
Once I finish putting everything away from yesterday these cookies sound like an easy and satisfying project for today!

What a great name. These look fabulous. But I have a question. What is the white stuff in the first picture? A dip of some sort?

Mmm, these truly are a great cookie for Black Friday, Lori! And they look likie brownie/cookie heaven. I actually posted a Black Friday cookie of my own, but mine were more of a seasonal cookie.

I love cookies and would definitely try one! By the way can I have a recipe for your Black Friday Cookie? It is flourless, right?

These. look. killer, Lori!
I won’t go anywhere near any shopping on Black Friday either, but I wish I’d seen these sooner.
Imwaytoobusy — November 28, 2010 @ 9:20 PM
Wow, these are out of control! I love it. I am going to be thinking about chocolate for days now. I can’t believe they are flourless. They look amazing!
Torey — November 30, 2010 @ 7:16 AM
These look great! Thanks for finding gluten free goodies for us.
Jessica Nunemaker — December 4, 2010 @ 3:51 AM
These sound great!
I’ve been wanting a soft chocolate cookie but didn’t find a recipe that said, “MAKE ME NOW!” until now.
Thanks!

Wow those look gorgeous, Lori! I’m totally drooling
Courtney — December 5, 2010 @ 10:38 AM
MAJOR fan of chewy brownies, so I bet I’d love these!! Gosh how the heck did I miss this cookie post??? They look outrageously delicious!!
Jessie — December 10, 2010 @ 6:13 PM
I already don’t trust these in my home…
angela — February 9, 2011 @ 6:58 AM
don’t bother using 3 or 4 egg whites. recipe doesn’t work when you do.
Living The Sweet Life — November 25, 2011 @ 9:29 AM
These are FAR MORE of a good idea, than being out there getting trampled on in the malls!! The dense chocolate kick and sheen on these babies are making me crave them oh-so-badly right now.

Loved these cookies, as I am looking for gluten-free! Do you happen to know the carb count?

No, I do not. But you can search for an online recipe calculator to help you figure out the nutritional information. Here’s a good one:
