What You Will Need
- 3/4 cups powdered monk fruit – I use the brank Lakanto. Code COOKINGKATIE15 for 15% off Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweeteners!
- 3/4 cup unsweetened organic cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 3 large egg whites (about 9 tbsp)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
How To Make Them
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a mixing bowl combine the powdered monk fruit, cocoa powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites until bubbly and frothy. Add the vanilla and continue to whisk until fully incorporated.
- Add the whisked egg white mixture into your mixing bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix with a rubber spatula. It will get thick and sticky like glue!
- Use a cookie scoop to form 6 cookies. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until the tops look crackly. Enjoy!
FAQ Section
Why is the dough so sticky?
The batter contains no flour or fat, so the cocoa powder and egg whites create a glue like texture. This is normal and helps the cookies stay chewy.
Can I use whole eggs instead?
No. Whole eggs will make the dough too runny. Stick to egg whites only.
Do they freeze well?
They freeze beautifully. Store in a freezer safe bag for up to two months.
Tips
- Add a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Stir in a tablespoon of mini sugar free chocolate chips for extra richness.
- If the batter feels too thick, rest it for five minutes. The cocoa absorbs moisture and becomes easier to scoop.
How To Store Leftovers
Store your leftovers in an air tight container in a cool, dry place for up to 4 days or in the fridge for up to 7. You can also freeze these for up to 2 months.

Fun Fact
Crinkle cookies get their signature crackled look when the outside sets before the inside finishes baking. The internal steam pushes through the surface and forms natural little ridges. It’s culinary magic in ten minutes.
