flourless fudge cookie

Flour less fudge cookies
3 c  powdered sugar
1 c cocoa powder
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 c mini chocolate chips
1/2 c pecans, finely chopped.
4* Egg whites
( *if you are leaving out the nuts and chips, you only need 3)
Whisk the sugar and coco, then add the eggs, and mix by hand until all the dry is wet, then mix in the chips and nuts. Don't over mix. The batter is stiff, not as stiff as dough, but stiffer then pancakes.
Preheat oven to 325.
Line baking sheet with parchment. Scoop out in teaspoon sized drops. I got 4 dozen little cookies.
Bake for about 10 minutes.

Sort of like a chocolate mering, but with a chewy center.

Very tasty, and with no fancy ingredients.

I'm taking these and the Peanut butter chewers to a cookie exchange.

"ratio rally"

I just stumbled across this "group"
Apparently they do recipes, based on a ratio, and then have a challenge each month.
It appears to be based  on Michael Ruhlman's book "Ratio: The Simple Codes Behind the Craft of Everyday Cooking"
I completely agree that baking should really be done by weight, but who has the time?
I got a very good food scale, about 8 years ago, but it's relegated to the top shelf with the waffle iron and other appliances that don't get much use.
Well these ladies inspire me.
I'll be getting that scale down for the Christmas cookie baking.
More to come on that!
