Serves: 9 cookies
 
Ingredients
  • 1.5 c powdered sugar
  • ⅓ c unsweetened dark cocoa powder
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • 2 egg whites, whisked, at room temperature if possible {you might not use it all}
  • 1 t vanilla
  • .5 c dark chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Heat the oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, dark cocoa powder, and salt.
  3. Add the vanilla and half of the egg white, and whisk until the batter is thick but moist. Add egg white slowly until it is glossy and stir-able, but not too thin. You don't want it to be runny because it will spread too much on the pan.
  4. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  5. Spoon or scoop the batter onto the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. The cookies will spread quite a bit no matter what you do, so don't place them too close together.
  6. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the tops are glossy and they begin to crack.
  7. Let them cool completely before removing from the baking sheet with a spatula (metal, if possible).
Notes
For this recipe, I have tried parchment paper, a silpat, and buttering the pan. ONLY the parchment paper worked, in my experience.
