Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.25 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
Add the egg whites and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture forms a thick, glossy batter. It may take a minute or two for the batter to come together. Be patient and resist the urge to add liquid.
If using mini chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter using a spatula.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie since they will spread slightly during baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the tops are shiny and cracked. The edges should be set, but the centers will remain slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
