Number Of Ingredients 7

3 - egg whites
3/4 teaspoon(s) vanilla
3/4 cup(s) sugar
1/4 cup(s) baking cocoa
FOR THE GLAZE
3 ounce(s) semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon(s) shortening

Steps:

  • Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Add vanilla; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Gently fold in cocoa.
  • Insert a #8b large open star tip into a pastry bag; fill half full with meringue. Pipe stars, about 1-1/4 in. in diameter, or drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
  • Bake at 300° for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from paper; cool on wire racks. In a microwave, melt chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip cookies halfway into glaze; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set.
