What a great way to get your chocolate without a bunch of extra calories. These take patience but the end result is a nice little treat. My ds8 loved these cookies and exclaimed that it was like hot chocolate in a cookie hence the name.

Time 2h20m

Yield 2 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 5

2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
4 egg whites, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 250 degrees. Line two baking sheets with nonstick foil or parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder and ground cinnamon.
  • Place egg whites into a bowl and add cream of tarter.
  • Begin beating egg whites on low speed until foamy. Increase to medium speed and add sugar mixture, one tablespoon at a time, until medium-stiff peaks form.
  • Transfer mixture to a pastry bag and pipe a small disk onto prepared baking sheets about an inch apart. (I got 12 large meringues per baking sheet.).
  • Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour, 30 minutes. DO NOT open the oven door during cooking time or the meringues may collapse.
  • Turn off oven and let meriggues sit in oven for 1/2 hour.
  • Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
