A chocolate treat that's crispy on the outside and gooey goodness on the inside. Ingredients:
1/2 cup powdered sugar |
1 teaspoon cornstarch |
1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder |
2 large egg whites |
1/4 cup granulated sugar |
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon vinegar |
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. Sift together the powdered sugar, cornstarch and cocoa. Set aside.
3. In a metal mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and the granulated sugar. Set this bowl over a pot of simmering water and whisk until mixture is very warm and sugar dissolves. Be careful not to cook the whites. This may also be done over a double boiler.
4. Remove from heat and stir in cream of tartar and salt.
5. Whip until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla and vinegar while whites are whipping.
6. Fold in the confectioners’ sugar mixture and chocolate chips.
7. Drop by generously rounded tablespoonfuls onto parchment lined cookie sheet. Cookies won’t spread. Bake for 30 minutes at 300 degrees F.
