Yield Makes 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

Parchment paper
2 1/2 cups walnut halves
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 egg whites
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

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.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I would make them again, but I would use less sugar next time.

These cookies were a bit dry. I think I would add an extra egg next time.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to spread out in the oven. They ended up being more like bars than cookies.

I'm not usually a fan of flourless chocolate cookies, but these were surprisingly good. They were rich and chocolatey, with a nice chewy texture.
