Ingredients
- ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 large egg whites
Instructions
-
Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder and powdered sugar until well combined.
- Add the egg whites to the dry mixture. Stir continuously until the egg whites are fully absorbed and the batter becomes thick and sticky. This may take a few minutes.
-
Shape the Cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the batter and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
-
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the cookies puff up and develop a shiny, crackled surface.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Storage: Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Sweetener Options: For a different sweetness, you can substitute powdered sugar with a powdered no-calorie sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
- Add-Ins: Feel free to fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or even a sprinkle of sea salt before baking for added texture and flavor.
