Steps:
- Position 2 racks in the upper and lower thirds of oven. Heat oven to 350°. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Place walnuts on a work surface and finely chop. Transfer to a separate large baking sheet and toast until fragrant, about 9 minutes. Let cool. Mix sugar, cocoa and salt in a bowl. Stir in walnuts. Add egg whites and vanilla; beat with a fork or electric mixer on medium until batter is just moistened. (Do not overbeat batter or it will stiffen.) Drop batter by the teaspoonful onto baking sheets in evenly spaced mounds. Bake cookies until tops are lightly cracked and glossy, about 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. Spread the walnut halves on a large-rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 9 minutes, until they are golden and fragrant. Let cool slightly, then transfer the walnut halves to a work surface and coarsely chop them.
- Position two racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and lower temperature to 320. Line two large-rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk (or combine in an electric mixer on low speed) the confectioners' sugar with the cocoa powder and salt followed by the chopped walnuts. While whisking (or once you change the speed to medium), add the egg whites and vanilla extract and beat just until the batter is moistened (do not overbeat or it will stiffen).
- Spoon the batter onto the baking sheets in 12 evenly spaced mounds, and bake for 14 to 16 minutes, until the tops are glossy and lightly cracked; shift the pans from front to back and top to bottom halfway through to ensure even baking. Slide the parchment paper (with the cookies) onto 2 wire racks. Let cookies cool completely, and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The chocolate is the star of these cookies, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cookies tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. The cookies should be baked until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. Let them cool completely before serving for the best flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
These flourless chocolate walnut cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are gluten-free and can be made vegan with a few simple substitutions. With their rich chocolate flavor and chewy texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
