a variation of meringue cookies Ingredients:
7 ounces egg whites |
16 ounces confectioners' sugar |
1 cup cocoa |
1/2 cup nuts (i usually use sliced almonds or walnuts) (optional) |
Directions:
1. beat egg whites until stiff peaks form in a glass or aluminum bowl.
2. fold in sugar and cocoa, mixing well.
3. fold in nuts (if using them).
4. using a spoon and a spatula place ~2 T lumps of the batter on an un-greased baking sheet. This is key-there must be no fat that touches the batter or else the meringues will collapse.
5. bake at 200F for several hours (welcome suggestions on temp and time). I usually bake them for 2+ hours and then let them sit in the oven for several more hours until the insides are not gooey.
