Instructions ๐
-
Preheat Your Oven ๐ฅ
Begin by preheating your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and achieve the perfect texture. -
Prepare the Baking Sheets ๐งฝ
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly grease the paper. This step is crucial to prevent the cookies from sticking and to make cleanup a breeze. -
Beat the Egg Whites ๐ฅ
In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until they become frothy. This creates a light and airy base for your cookies. -
Sift and Combine Dry Ingredients ๐
Sift the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, flour, and instant coffee into the beaten egg whites. This ensures that all the dry ingredients are well incorporated and free of lumps. -
Add Water and Beat ๐
Add the water to the mixture. Continue beating on low speed to blend the ingredients, then increase to high speed for a few minutes until the mixture thickens. This step helps achieve the desired consistency for your batter. -
Fold in Walnuts ๐ฐ
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the chopped walnuts if you are using them. This adds a delightful crunch and enhances the overall flavor profile. -
Spoon the Mixture ๐ช
Place generous spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart. This allows room for the cookies to spread as they bake. -
Bake to Perfection ๐
Bake the cookies for about 12-15 minutes, until they are firm on the outside, cracked on top, but still soft and gooey on the inside. This texture is what makes these cookies truly special! -
Cool and Enjoy ๐ฌ๏ธ
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. The softness inside combined with the slightly crisp exterior makes these cookies an absolute delight. -
Relish the Delight ๐
Enjoy the cookies warm or at room temperature. Their lightness and rich chocolate flavor make them perfect for any occasion.
Tips for Success ๐ก
- Nut-Free Option: If you have nut allergies or prefer not to use walnuts, you can easily omit them. The cookies will still be delicious!
- Uniform Size: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to ensure that each cookie is the same size. This helps them bake evenly.
- Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
