This is a high altitude recipe. Two of these chocolate treats are lower in calories than 1 (4-inch) graham cracker and I would much rather eat CHOCOLATE than a graham cracker! Each cookie is only 22 calories! Recipe source: shopper's newsletter Ingredients:
1/4 cup powdered sugar |
1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (hershey's) |
2 egg whites |
1/3 cup granulated sugar |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla |
2 cups five-grain cereal, flakes |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
2. Spray a cookie sheet with Pam (non-stick cooking spray).
3. Sift powdered sugar and cocoa together in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
4. In a large bowl beat egg whites until frothy.
5. Add granulated sugar to egg whites one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition and continue beating until it is stiff and glossy (meringue).
6. Beat in vanilla.
7. Fold cocoa/sugar mixture and cereal flakes into meringue.
8. Drop meringue onto cookie sheets using 2 teaspoons of meringue per cookie - one inch apart making 28 kisses.
