Ingredients
– 3 large egg whites
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large, clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they form stiff peaks.
3. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture until it becomes glossy and thick.
4. Gently fold in the cocoa powder and chocolate chips until just combined.
5. Scoop heaping tablespoons of the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly browned.
7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder. You can also experiment with different mix-ins, such as chopped nuts or a drizzle of melted chocolate.
