Recipe Notes
These cookies possess an incredibly rich flavor, which is nearly identical to a square of real dark chocolate but with absolutely zero fat.
Ingredients:
1/2 C unsweetened cocoa powder
pinch of salt
1/2 C sugar, divided
3 lg egg whites
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp confectioners’ sugar
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 300F. Line 2 baking sheets with foil.
- In small bowl, sift together cocoa, salt, and 1/4cup of the sugar.
- In large bowl, with electric mixer at medium low speed, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Beat in remaining 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, until meringue is glossy and stiff peaks form. Fold in cocoa mixture and vanilla extract.
- Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls about 1″ apart onto prepared baking sheets. Bake 25 minutes for soft chewy cookies or 40 minutes for crisp ones. Dust cooled cookies with confectioners’ sugar.
Yields 24 Cookies.
