Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake

Yield 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups powdered sugar
½ cup plus 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon sea salt
2 ½ cups chocolate chips ( I like to use a bit more)
4 egg whites
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
optional delicious ingredients; toffee bits, dried cranberries or dried cherries

Steps:

  • 1. Position 2 racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Heat oven to 350˚F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. 2. Mix sugar, cocoa, and salt in a bowl. Stir in chocolate chips. 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.) 3. Drop batter by teaspoonful onto baking sheets in evenly spaced mounds. Bake cookies until tops are lightly cracked and glossy, about 15 minutes. Cool briefly, then carefully remove from parchment paper with a spatula*. Cookies may be soft and fragile, so proceed carefully to lift cookies and place them on racks to cool. Do not wait too long to remove them from baking sheets, for they will stick, even to parchment paper. Repeat with remaining batter. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Makes about 4 dozen cookies. Notes: ~ I found that slightly rounded teaspoons of batter work best. I tried making bigger ones and they did not bake as nicely. Also, make sure to leave plenty of room around each one as they will spread - a lot! ~ When I made these cookies I found, through trial and error, that if I lightly buttered the parchment paper, then left the cookies right on the paper till they were cool, there was no problem removing them. ~ I tried them with 2 cups of chocolate chips and a cup of roughly chopped dried cherries - fabulous! ~ I also tried them with 2 cups of chocolate chips and 1 cup of toffee bits, even better!! :) Taken from http://www.thecafesucrefarine.com/2012/06/oh-my-goodness-just-wait.html

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them with less sugar next time.

These cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and salty. The chocolate cookies are rich and decadent, and the meringue topping adds a nice touch of sweetness. I love that I can make them in advance and freeze them, so I always have a sweet treat

I was really excited to try these cookies, but I was disappointed. The meringue topping was too hard and crunchy, and the chocolate cookies were dry.

The meringue topping on these cookies is divine! It's so light and fluffy, and it adds a perfect touch of sweetness to the chocolate cookies.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as chewy as I expected. They were still good, but they weren't quite what I was hoping for.
