9. a secret adventure
and....... drumroll please.............
10. making these cookies with my mother
ingredients
nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
3 large egg whites, room temperature
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
(yes - these cookies don't have ANY flour or butter. crazy, huh?)
directions
1. preheat oven to 350 degrees
spray 2 large baking sheets with nonstick spray
2. melt 1 cup chocolate chips in glass bowl in microwave,
stirring about every minute. cool slightly.
3. using electric mixer, beat whites in large bowl to soft peaks
4. gradually beat in 1 cup sugar
5. continue beating until mixture resembles soft marshmallow creme
6. whisk 1 cup sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt in medium bowl to blend
7. on low speed beat dry ingredients into meringue
8. stir in lukewarm chocolate and 1/2 cup chocolate ships
(dough should become stiff)
TIP: wait for your chocolate to be lukewarm.
mixing it in too quickly makes the cookie hard to work with in step 9
9. place 1/2 cup powdered sugar in bowl.
roll dough into 1.5" balls, roll in sugar, coating thickly.
10. place on baking sheet 2" apart
11. bake until puffed and tops looked cracked ~ about 10 minutes
cool on rack for 10 minutes
(makes about 18)
we ate these cookies right away - while still gooey.
we couldn't resist!
once cooled however, they turned into more of a brownie texture.
very dense and rich and chewy. delicious!
not your classic cookie by any means.
