I baked these cookies in a last minute attempt to keep my goal for the summer alive. It was a Friday morning, two-and-a-half hours before I had to be at work, and I sprinted to the kitchen to make these gooey chocolate cookies. They turned out to be a hit for all the chocolate lovers out there.
Makes about 18 cookies.
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
3 egg whites
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray two large baking sheets with nonstick spray. Melt 1 cup of the chocolate chips in a glass bowl in the microwave for about 2 minutes (HOWEVER, stop twice to stir). Cool slightly.
Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites in a large bowl to soft peaks. Gradually beat in 1 cup of the powdered sugar. Continue beating until mixture resembles soft marshmallow creme.
Whisk another cup of the sugar and the cocoa, cornstarch, and salt in medium bowl to blend. On low speed, beat the dry ingredients into the marshmallow mixture you made above.
Stir in the lukewarm chocolate and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips (dough will become very stiff). Place 1/2 cup of powdered sugar (the remainder) into the bowl. Roll 1 rounded tablespoon of dough into a ball, then roll in powdered sugar, coating thickly. Place on prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing 2 inches apart.
Bake until puffed and tops crack, about 10 minutes. Cool on sheet racks for 10 minutes, then transfer the cookies onto wire racks. Enjoy this delicious chocolate treat with a tall glass of milk! :)
