A wonderful union of chocolate and mint. Also delicious with white chocolate chips and vanilla in place of the mint.
Ingredients
- 2 spray(s) cooking spray
- 3 large egg white(s), at room temperature
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/2 cup(s) sugar, divided
- 3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp mint extract
- 1/2 cup(s) mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Coat a large cookie sheet with cooking spray
or top with parchment paper (use two cookie sheets if necessary).
- In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, whip egg whites until
soft peaks form. Slowly add cream of tartar and 1/4 cup sugar; beat
until stiff peaks form.
- In another small bowl, mix cocoa, cornstarch and remaining 1/4 cup sugar.
- Fold cocoa mixture and mint extract into egg whites; fold in chocolate chips.
- Drop 24 heaping tablespoons of batter onto prepared cookie sheet,
about 2-inches apart; bake in upper 1/3 of oven until cookies flatten
out, about 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool
on cookie sheet for 1 or 2 minutes. Remove cookies to a wire rack to
cool completely. Yields 1 cookie per serving.
