Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a clean and dry mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites and salt on medium speed until frothy.
Gradually add in the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat on high speed. Beat until stiff, glossy peaks form and the sugar is completely dissolved.
Gently sift the cocoa powder over the meringue mixture, then add the vanilla extract. Fold the cocoa and vanilla into the mixture using a spatula until evenly incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the meringue airy.
Using a spoon or a piping bag fitted with a round tip, drop or pipe small dollops of the meringue onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Each cookie should be around 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 75-90 minutes, until the meringue cookies are completely dry and crisp. Turn off the oven and let the cookies cool inside with the oven door slightly ajar for another 30 minutes to prevent cracking.
Once cooled, gently peel the cookies off the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container. Enjoy these light and chocolaty treats!
