I made this recipe once and it was perfect. I gotta say, I was quite surprised by the texture of the cookie. It’s as if I am biting into air… Don’t believe me, give it a try!
How to Make Brownie Meringue Cookies:
In a medium-sized bowl, add the unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted powdered sugar, and salt:
Whisk it until well-combined:
In another bowl, add 2 egg whites:
Whip it until soft peaks form, just like this:
Gradually add the powdered sugar mixture and fold it in the meringue mixture:
Add the chocolate chunks to the mixture and mix well:
Quick Tip: This cookie batter is sticky, so to prevent the batter from sticking to your fingers, dip your fingers in a bit of oil (any kind) before pressing into your cookie batter.
Scoop the mixture on your cookie sheet, flatten cookies for them to bake evenly and bake for 15 minutes at 350F:
Enjoy your delicious cookies!
