Oatmeal Cookies with a Difference

manumanu writes: Hi Lisa, I had to undergo a no sugar diet among other stuff and had to come up with alternative recipes to satisfy my hunger and sweet tooth.
I adapted a flourless chocolate cake recipe from Gourmet the following way:

Flourless Chocolate Cake ((there is minimal sugar in the chocolate but this is what I had in my pantry):

6 oz chocolate (3oz 70%; 3oz 85%), 1 cup agave syrup, 5 eggs separated, 1/4 tsp cream of tartar, ½-1 oz dark rum, 1 tsp instant coffee granules or 1 shot of espresso, 1-1 ½ tsp vanilla extract, 2 TBS arrowroot, 3/4 cup cocoa powder, bake for 25 minutes.

Melt chocolate with butter. Whisk egg yolks and agave nectar with vanilla extract, coffee and rum then slowly whisk it into chocolate mixture. Sift 1/2 cup cocoa powder and arrowroot over chocolate mixture and whisk until just combined. Whip egg whites and cream of tartar to stiff peaks and fold into chocolate mixture. Pour batter into pan and bake in middle of oven 25 minutes, or until top has formed a thin crust. Cool cake in pan on a rack 5 minutes and invert onto a serving plate. Serve with raspberry coulis sweetened to taste with agave nectar. Posted: 11:00 am on April 18th
