Ingredients
Scale
- 3 Egg Whites
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/3 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while increasing the speed to high. Continue beating until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
- Gently fold in the cocoa powder and vanilla extract using a spatula.
- Once the cocoa is evenly mixed, gently fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the meringue.
- Use a piping bag or a spoon to dollop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 1 to 1.5 hours until the cookies are dry to the touch.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cookies inside to cool completely with the door ajar.

Keywords: For best results, let egg whites sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before whipping. Meringues do not fare well in humid conditions, so choose a dry day for baking.
