Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
2. In a clean, dry mixing bowl, add the egg whites and a pinch of salt. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Step 3
3. Gradually add the granulated sugar, about a tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat. Increase the speed to high and beat until the meringue is glossy and stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
4. Gently fold in the sifted cocoa powder and vanilla extract using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the meringue.
Step 5
5. Once combined, fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 6
6. Using a spoon or a piping bag, dollop or pipe small mounds of the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
Step 7
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the cookies are dry to the touch and can easily lift off the parchment paper. They should be crisp on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside.
Step 8
8. Turn off the oven and let the cookies cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for an additional 30 minutes. This helps to prevent cracking.
Step 9
9. Once cooled, carefully remove the cookies from the parchment paper and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
