Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
- ½ cup plus 3 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 large egg whites at room temperature
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 320 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a Silpat.
- In a large bowl, whisk the confectioners’ sugar with the cocoa powder and salt.
- Add the egg whites and vanilla extract and beat just until the batter is moistened (do not overbeat or it will stiffen). Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spoon the batter onto the baking sheets in 12 evenly spaced mounds, and bake for 14 to 16 minutes, until the tops are glossy and lightly cracked; shift the pans from front to back and top to bottom halfway through to ensure even baking.
- Slide the parchment paper (with the cookies) onto 2 wire racks. Let cookies cool completely, and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
