Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Powdered sugar
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 pieces Large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 120 grams Chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.
Add the egg whites and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir with a spatula or spoon until the ingredients form a thick, glossy batter. Note: The batter will appear sticky, which is normal.
Fold in the chopped walnuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have a shiny surface and slightly cracked tops.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Repeat the baking process for the second sheet.
Serve the cookies once cooled, and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
