Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Salt | 3 |
| Sugar | 1 cup |
| Vanilla Extract | 1 tsp |
| Cocoa Powder | 3 tbsp |
| Chopped Chocolate | 1/2 cup |
| Egg Whites | 3 |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C) and position oven racks in the middle positions.
-
Prepare baking sheets by lining one or two sheet pans with foil or kitchen parchment. Set aside.
-
Whip egg whites with salt in a clean, dry bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer until they reach a soft peak stage. This is when the peaks form but fall over when the whip is removed.
-
Gradually add sugar to the whipped egg whites, continuing to beat until the mixture is very thick and glossy.
-
Stir in cocoa powder and vanilla extract until well combined. Then, gently fold in the chopped chocolate for extra indulgence.
-
Spoon walnut-size mounds of the batter onto the prepared sheet pans, leaving space between each mound to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the cookies are dry on the surface but still soft inside. The low temperature ensures they cook evenly without becoming too crisp.
-
Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes to set slightly. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Enjoy these Low Fat Chocolate Chewies as a delightful snack or dessert option. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for freshness.
