Instructions:
-
Heat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
-
-
Prepare Cookie Sheet: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil.
-
Whip Egg Whites: In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar together at high speed. Whip until the mixture forms stiff peaks, the sugar is completely dissolved, and the mix is glossy.
-
Add Vanilla: Gently sift the cocoa powder into the egg white mixture. Fold it in with care to maintain the fluffy texture.
-
Fold in Chocolate: Next, gently fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Drop the Batter: Using a heaping tablespoon, drop the batter onto the prepared cookie sheet. Leave some space between each cookie, as they will spread slightly while baking.
-
Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the tops have a slight sheen.
-
Cool: Once baked, allow the cookies to cool slightly on the sheet. Then, carefully peel them off the parchment paper or foil.
-
Final Cooling: Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them firm up and achieve their signature “cloud-like” texture.
-
Serve: Enjoy these Chocolate Clouds as a delightful treat with a glass of milk, a cup of coffee, or simply on their own!
Recipe Notes:
- For a burst of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the cookies just before baking.
- These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They also freeze beautifully, making them perfect for batch baking!
- Customize your Chocolate Clouds by using different types of chocolate chips—dark, milk, or even white chocolate can add a unique twist to this classic recipe.
