Chocolate Meringue Cookies

Ingredients

• 3 cups Powdered Sugar
• ½ cups Cocoa Powder
• ¼ teaspoons Salt
• 2-½ cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
• 4 whole Egg Whites
• 1 Tablespoon Vanilla

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line baking sheets with parchment and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Mix sugar, cocoa and salt in a bowl. Stir in chocolate chips. Add egg whites and vanilla, and mix till just moistened. Do not overmix batter.

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets. Bake till the tops are slightly cracked and glossy, about 15 minutes. Cool only briefly before moving to a cooling rack. Cookies are fragile, but they will stick to parchment if not removed shortly after baking.

Makes about 4 dozen.
