Prep 15 min · Cook 10 min · Total 45 min · Makes 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Set parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- Stir the chocolate chips and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Put the bowl aside.
- Add the cocoa powder, sugar, and cream of tartar to a medium bowl, and whisk until everything is evenly mixed.
- Beat the egg whites in a large bowl until they hold stiff peaks. With the mixer still running, slowly work in the cocoa powder mixture and beat until incorporated. Use a gentle hand to fold in the chocolate chip mixture, stopping as soon as it is just mixed through.
- Spoon heaping tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cookies look set and the tops are lightly browned. Cool them completely before serving.
