Total preparation time: 60 minutes
Serves: 30Ingredients:
- 3 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons powdered cocoa
- 3 tablespoons chocolate chips
Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- 2. In a chilled bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tarter until soft peaks form. Add the sugar gradually, about 1 tablespoons at a time. Continue beating and adding remaining sugar until all of the sugar is dissolved and the meringue is very shiny and tight, (stiff peaks).
- 3. Sift cocoa over egg whites. GENTLY fold in using a large spatula. Do not overmix or stir! (The whites will flatten)
- 4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips. Use a pastry bag or drop batter by level tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet. Bake at 300 degrees F for 40 minutes or until crisp. Cool pan on wire rack.
