How to Make Chocolate Meringue Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl on medium speed until foamy and increased in volume (about 2-3 minutes).
- Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while increasing the mixer speed to high. Beat until stiff peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
- Fold in the cocoa powder and vanilla extract gently using a spatula, ensuring even incorporation without deflating.
- Gently combine the chocolate chips into the meringue, ensuring even distribution without losing fluffiness.
- Spoon or pipe the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each dollop.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 to 1.5 hours until dry to the touch and easily lift from parchment.
- Cool the cookies by turning off the oven and leaving them inside with the door ajar.
Notes
For optimal results, ensure mixing bowl and beaters are clean and dry. Be patient when adding sugar and use a gentle motion when folding in ingredients.
