Bobbi Mumm:
Chocolate Meringue Cookies
Every few months, after making puddings or custards, I find myself with unused egg whites. I’m not fond of scrambled egg whites so I tend to use them in baking. My family loves these cookies. They have a chewy, chocolatey centre that makes them irresistible. I also appreciate them for the fact that they are gentle on the waistline.
How do you like to use egg whites?
CHOCOLATE MERINGUE COOKIES
Ingredients
• 3 large egg whites (at room temperature)
• ¼ tsp cream of tartar
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
• 3 tbsp semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 250F.
2. Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt at high speed of a mixer until soft peaks form. Add sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, beating until stiff peaks form.
3. Sift cocoa over egg white mixture; fold in. Fold in chocolate chips. Don’t worry if you can still see some cocoa powder.
4. Cover 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop batter by teaspoonfuls (they're small!) onto prepared baking sheets. They can be close together as they will not spread much with baking.
5. Bake at 275F for 45 minutes. Use two large baking sheets and bake them all at once.
6. Yield: 40-45 small cookies.

Lovely to see Bobbi here!! And that recipe looks fabulous!
Thanks, Margot! It was fun putting something together again for Janet's wonderful site. The only problem with these cookies is that one is rarely enough. So I send them down to the freezer, super-fast.
Writing a recipe is an art. You answered my questions, allayed my doubts, and whetted my appetite! I think this is a recipe I could actually follow to success. Thanks!
