Chocolate Meringue Cookies
Ingredients
- 5 large egg whites
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp table salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa
- 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
Directions
- Preheat oven to 225°F. Cover 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper; set
aside.
- Combine 1 egg white, 1/4 cup of cocoa, 2 tablespoons of sugar and extract
in a large bowl.
- Beat the remaining 4 egg whites and salt with an electric mixer just until
soft peaks form; add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time,
while beating, until the egg whites are stiff and glossy. Fold the egg
whites into the chocolate mixture in three batches.
- Fill a pastry bag with the mixture and pipe out the cookies onto the
cookie sheets. Each cookie should be about 1-inch wide. (Note: To make your
own pastry bag, use a gallon plastic bag and cut a hole in the corner.) Bake
1 hour and 15 minutes until a dried texture.
- Mix the remaining 1 teaspoon of cocoa and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Sprinkle over the hot cookies with a sieve or sifter. Let cool completely on
wire racks before removing from parchment paper. Yields about 12 cookies per
serving.
